RE: [RC] Crandell and Asgard bred "Heraldic" win the Haggin Cup - heidi

I'm pleased to see people actually recognizing the breeder of the horse as having a hand in his wins.  I'd only add that many of the past winners have also been bred by people specifically breeding for equine athletes, and I'd hope that this raises the awareness of the efforts of those dedicated breeders over the years.  Although I don't have all of them at my fingertips, both Bend of the River Ranch (Lois Russell, same breeder who bred AERC Hall of Fame's RT Muffin) and The New Albion Stud (Michael Bowling) have bred Tevis winners in the past few years, in very intentional breeding programs aimed at raising the sorts of horses capable of doing just that. 
 
The second and third place horses were both grandsons of Tevis winner Bezatal, to boot.
 
Congrats to all!
 
Heidi

Trophy. He went on 8 weeks later to win the Tevis and the Haggin Cup. Good
horse, great rider and in both cases an extremely smart ride."

No, not a good horse, Truman.  A **GREAT** horse!!!
