Thoroughbred WinnersColonial AffairBred Colonial Affair, who won the 1993 Belmont, carrying Julie Krone. Trained by the 1992 U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Scotty Schulhofer, Colonial Affair is best known for his win in the 1993 Belmont Stakes, as the 13-1 longshot. Colonial Affair's 1993 Belmont triumph is also in the record books, because it was the first time that any female jockey (Julie Krone) won any of the three races of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. Colonial Affair went on to win other major races, including the Peter Pan Stakes (1993), the Whitney Handicap (1994), the Jockey Club Gold Cup (1994), and the Excelsior Breeders' Cup Handicap (1994). Colonial Affair was also only 3 votes shy (out of a possible 247) of winning the 1994 Eclipse Award for American Male Champion Older Horse. Sur La TeteBred Sur La Tete, a Steeplechase star, who won eight stakes races between 2003 and 2006, and who was also a finalist for the 2004, 2005, and 2006 Eclipse Award Steeplechase Horse of the Year. Sur La Tete retired in 2007, as the fourth-leading earner in the history of the National Steeplechase Association. Purchased and raced by Kinross Farm, Sur La Tete retired with $664,050 in steeplechase earnings and nine victories, including six Grade 1 wins. Other significant "in the money" finishes included two Grade 2 second-place finishes, three Grade 3 third-place finishes, and one Grade 3 win. ResearcherPurchased Researcher, as a baby, for only $5,000. Winner of the April 18, 2009, first annual Charles Town Classic, at 1{{frac|1|8}} miles, for horses four years old and older. Rutledge Farm continued racing him until April 16, 2010, when Mr. Greenberg's estate sold him to Mr. Zohar Ben-Dov. 1 Day later, April l7, 2010, Researcher won the second annual Charles Town Classic. On March 28, 2009, shortly before his 2009 Charles Town Classic win, on the same track, and at the same 1{{frac|1|8}} mile distance, Researcher set a A New Track Record, when he won a race by 22{{frac|1|4}} lengths. A horse from the most humble beginnings, Researcher was bought by Rutledge Farm (Mr. Hermen Greenberg) as a $5,000 charitable donation to the Virginia Tech Foundation's M.A.R.E Center, in Middleburg, Virginia. North America's Highest Speed Figure Researcher earned a record 133 Equibase Speed Figure in 2009's Inaugural Charles Town Classic. That year, his 133 Speed Figure was higher than any other horse competing in any other 2009 race in North America. (2009 Breeders' Cup Classic champion Zenyatta only scored a 127, and Rachael Alexandra only scored a 121 in both the 2009 Kentucky Oaks and Haskell Invitational.) No horse, in 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, or 2006, has run a faster Equibase Speed Figure. One of North America's Leading Money Earners As of April 20, 2010, Researcher's $618,600 earnings for 2010, ranks him as North America's 4th leading money earner .
