Multiple Derby Champions Crowned at Breeder’s Invitational


Derby Senior

The winner’s circle is becoming a familiar place for Bonnie Martin and Autumn Rey (Dual Rey x Autumn White x Smart Little Lena). They topped the Derby Unlimited Amateur less than a day before competing in the Derby Senior, and they kept the heat going.

Martin and her Slate River Ranch-bred mare earned a 220 for their performance in the division and won the Championship by 2.5 points. The pair added $4,204 to their earnings at the Breeder’s Invitational.

“I just feel so blessed to be able to come out and do what I love,” Martin said.

Lachlan Perks and homebred Sweet N Starlight (Smooth As A Cat x Stella Starlight x Grays Starlight) took home the Reserve Championship and a check of $3,787 after marking a 217.5.
