I OWN NOTHING AND PLEASE COMENT AND LIKE! This video tribute is about a famous horse named Ferdinand. He won the 1986 Kentucky Derby. Trained by Charles Whittingham and owned by Mrs. Howard B. Keck. He won the Derby but finished 2nd in the Preakness and 3rd in the Belmont. He won the 1987 Breeders Cup Classic by beating Alysheba in that race. After racing a few more times Ferdinand was retired from stud. Ferdinand was retired to stud in 1989 at Claiborne Farm near Paris, Ky., where he was foaled. His initial stud fee was $30,000 live foal, but he achieved little success as a stallion from his first few crops of runners. Sold to Japan's JS Company in the fall of 1994 at a time when Japanese breeding farms were aggressively pursuing American and European breeding stock, Ferdinand spent six breeding seasons at Arrow Stud on the northern island of Hokkaido, from 1995-2000. Initially popular with local breeders (he was mated to 77 mares his first year), Ferdinand was bred to just 10 mares in his final year at Arrow, and his owners opted to get rid of him. They send him to the slaughtered and he never came back home. RIP great champ. I hope you like this video.
