The Tide Has Turned For Page McKenney
Harriet Beecher Stowe once pro-claimed ldquoWhen you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer never give up then for that is just the place and time that the tide will turnrdquo The story of a Pennsylvania-bred gelding named Page McK-enney indeed proves that you should never give up on a dream The handsome chestnut was consistent in his early career ndash consistent-ly inconsistent
His juvenile year as a racehorse began with a sixth-place finish at Colo-nial Downs where he was beaten by double-digit lengths Owner Jalin Stable and trainer Jazz Napravnik then tried races at Sarato-ga Race Course and Laurel Park none of which were successful However while at first glance a ninth-place finish in Maryland may look like a wash it was the begin-ning of a learning experience for Page McKenney He had finally started to show some speed running along the rail only 2 lengths off the lead-ers before faltering in the stretch
Four unsuccessful rac-es to open his career meant that it was time for a drop in class so his connections ran him for a claiming tag of $16000 at Laurel This time not only was he able to keep up but he also prompted the pace throughout en route to his very first career finish on the board
Two more starts that year brought his record to a second and a third from seven
starts It would have been understandable for his connections to throw in the towel but this is a story about never giving up
His first few starts of 2013 were varied in distance surface and results a prom-ising second-place finish followed by dis-appointment while sprinting on the dirt at
Laurel then another fast-closing second at Penn National One month later he was off the board again while stretching out to a mile Finally his connections tried a 11frasl16-mile turf race at Pimlico on Kentucky Derby
day where he ran evenly before closing late to pass tiring competitors but was again off the board
In his next start at Colonial Downs the tide began to change for Page McKenney as he broke on top and high-tailed it to the lead then drew off down the stretch
to finally break his maiden by three emphatic lengths It was his lucky 13th start and one of the last for his original connections He was claimed for $16000 at Penn National one month later
Making his first start for new owner Adam Sta-ple and trainer Mary Eppler Page McKenney contested a 11frasl16-mile allowance race on the turf at Penn National ex-hibiting tactical speed early before making a late bid en route to a second-place fin-ish and showing promise un-der the care of his new barn
On Sept 25 2013 he partnered with top jockey Horacio Karamanos for the first time It was a winning combination as the duo stalked the pace off the lead-ers and then dug in gamely approaching the wire re-sponding to heavy urging by his rider and holding off a late closer by a head
After that tenacious vic-tory Staple received a phone call from Dr James Bryant of Jalin Stable who was in-
terested in buying back part ownership of their homebred It was a difficult decision but Staple decided to let them join him as a minority owner It turned out to be a brilliant move for Jalin Stable
by Nikki Sherman
Eppler stepped Page McKenney up in class for his next race a starter allowance on the turf at Laurel Park Again partnering with Karamanos they blew up the tote board by paying $3960 to win Despite stumbling at the start his speed quickly carried him up to the leaders where he bided his time before taking over at the eighth pole and holding off the late-closing Grain to win by a half length
Page McKenney closed out his sopho-more season with two more in-the-mon-ey starts at Laurel bringing his 2013 total earnings to an astounding 10 times more than the $7548 he had earned as a juvenile Clearly as Harriet Beecher Stowe predicted when you hang on long enough the tide will turn in your favor
Since then the Page McKenney team has been handsomely rewarded even while steadily stepping him up in class Also oc-casionally joining the team is two-time lead-ing Parx Racing jockey Frankie Pennington Karamanos and Pennington have split riding duties and both get along perfectly with the gelding The former has six total victories with the gelding while the latter boasts three wins including a track record-setting perfor-mance at Parx last July 7
Pennington loves when he has the op-portunity to hop aboard Page McKenney ldquoHersquos an all-around class horse who loves his job and always tries 100 He just never gives up and has a great trainer who really knows himrdquo he says
Last August Karamanos and Page McKenney captured their first stakes victo-ry together at Penn National in the $90000 Robellino Stakes for PA-Breds defeating graded stakes winner Edge of Reality by 1frac34 lengths Two starts later Pennington guid-ed the gelding to his second stakes win in the $75000 First Responder Stakes Page McKenney also boasts stakes-placings in the $100000 Alphabet Soup Handicap for PA-Breds $130000 Mountaineer Mile $100000 Richard W Small Stakes and closed out 2014 with a second-place fin-ish in the $200000 Claiming Crown Jewel Stakes at Gulfstream Park
This year the PA-Bred has been even better In the John B Campbell Handicap on Valentinersquos Day at his Laurel Park home base Page McKenney was pinned behind horses going around the far turn and was forced to swing five-wide under Karamanos then closed tenaciously between horses
and got up to win by a hard-fought neck A second victory in the Harrison E Johnson Memorial Stakes by 4 lengths at Laurel on March 21 stamped his ticket to the $15 million Charles Town Classic-G2 on April 18
In the most difficult race of his career he faced the earners of nearly $10 million including superstar Shared Belief Whitney Handicap-G1 winner Moreno and Charles Town Classic defending champ Imperative Page McKenney had every excuse to fail but thatrsquos something he just doesnrsquot do anymore He overcame being carried wide on each of the three tight turns and closed courageous-ly to capture third place behind the new track record-setter Moreno
The best part of the story is that he is just coming into his own According to Ep-pler ldquoHersquos just so consistent I canrsquot tell you why hersquos consistent but he just isrdquo
One thing is for sure with the story of the flashy chestnut Pennsylvania-bred geld-ing never give up when rough waves start pushing you out to sea The team of Page McKenney followed their tide came roaring back to shore and is on the way to a suc-cessful season in 2015 a

IROQUOIS1878 Leamingtonmdash Maggie B B by Australian Bred by Aristides Welch owned by Pierre Lorillard IV trained by Jacob Pincus Foaled at Erdenheim Stud
1881 Epsom Derby winner Iroquois stands alone among the giants
of horse racing as the only one whose vic-tory ndash in the 1881 English Derby ndash caused trading on Wall Street to be suspended The horse who stopped Wall Street was foaled at Erdenheim Stud in Chestnut Hill Pa His breeder Aristides Welch sold him in a pack-age of yearlings to tobacco baron Pierre Lorillard who raced the colt to international acclaim
What the brown son of LeamingtonmdashMaggie B B by Australian accomplished in his 3-year-old season is almost beyond belief His victory in the June 1 Epsom Derby was preceded by three challenging closely spaced performances a second in the Two Thousand Guineas (May 4) and victories in the (May 6) Newmarket Stakes and (May 7) Burwell Stakes at Newmarket Two weeks after the Epsom Derby he came back to win the St James Palace Stakes (carrying 131 pounds) After a three-month break he won the Doncaster St Leger In October he was third in the (mile and a quarter) Champion Stakes behind Bend Or winner of the 1880 Derby The next day ndash after being blanketed for ldquosweating galloprdquo after his connections deemed he had not gotten enough out of the Champion Stakes ndash Iroquois was sent to the post for the mile and a half Newmarket Der-by He won Unraced at 4 he campaigned successfully although less spectacularly at 5 then was brought back to stand at stud at Lorillardrsquos Rancocas Farm in New Jersey
The euphoria that surrounded Iroquoisrsquo English Derby has likely not been expe-rienced by present-day horsemen even those who remember such stirring events as Secretariatrsquos Belmont Stakes win Turf writers penned eloquent poems in his hon-or Men toasted Iroquois in hotels and sport-ing clubs Some among the disenchanted British sniffed that Iroquois was in fact very nearly English-bred being by an imported stallion and out of a mare whose sire was also imported Still circumstance dictated
the Iroquois be foaled in Pennsylvania ndash and go on to become the standard-bearer for an entire nation

The Tide Has Turned For Page McKenney
Harriet Beecher Stowe once pro-claimed ldquoWhen you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer never give up then for that is just the place and time that the tide will turnrdquo The story of a Pennsylvania-bred gelding named Page McK-enney indeed proves that you should never give up on a dream The handsome chestnut was consistent in his early career ndash consistent-ly inconsistent
His juvenile year as a racehorse began with a sixth-place finish at Colo-nial Downs where he was beaten by double-digit lengths Owner Jalin Stable and trainer Jazz Napravnik then tried races at Sarato-ga Race Course and Laurel Park none of which were successful However while at first glance a ninth-place finish in Maryland may look like a wash it was the begin-ning of a learning experience for Page McKenney He had finally started to show some speed running along the rail only 2 lengths off the lead-ers before faltering in the stretch
Four unsuccessful rac-es to open his career meant that it was time for a drop in class so his connections ran him for a claiming tag of $16000 at Laurel This time not only was he able to keep up but he also prompted the pace throughout en route to his very first career finish on the board
Two more starts that year brought his record to a second and a third from seven
starts It would have been understandable for his connections to throw in the towel but this is a story about never giving up
His first few starts of 2013 were varied in distance surface and results a prom-ising second-place finish followed by dis-appointment while sprinting on the dirt at
Laurel then another fast-closing second at Penn National One month later he was off the board again while stretching out to a mile Finally his connections tried a 11frasl16-mile turf race at Pimlico on Kentucky Derby
day where he ran evenly before closing late to pass tiring competitors but was again off the board
In his next start at Colonial Downs the tide began to change for Page McKenney as he broke on top and high-tailed it to the lead then drew off down the stretch
to finally break his maiden by three emphatic lengths It was his lucky 13th start and one of the last for his original connections He was claimed for $16000 at Penn National one month later
Making his first start for new owner Adam Sta-ple and trainer Mary Eppler Page McKenney contested a 11frasl16-mile allowance race on the turf at Penn National ex-hibiting tactical speed early before making a late bid en route to a second-place fin-ish and showing promise un-der the care of his new barn
On Sept 25 2013 he partnered with top jockey Horacio Karamanos for the first time It was a winning combination as the duo stalked the pace off the lead-ers and then dug in gamely approaching the wire re-sponding to heavy urging by his rider and holding off a late closer by a head
After that tenacious vic-tory Staple received a phone call from Dr James Bryant of Jalin Stable who was in-
terested in buying back part ownership of their homebred It was a difficult decision but Staple decided to let them join him as a minority owner It turned out to be a brilliant move for Jalin Stable
by Nikki Sherman
Eppler stepped Page McKenney up in class for his next race a starter allowance on the turf at Laurel Park Again partnering with Karamanos they blew up the tote board by paying $3960 to win Despite stumbling at the start his speed quickly carried him up to the leaders where he bided his time before taking over at the eighth pole and holding off the late-closing Grain to win by a half length
Page McKenney closed out his sopho-more season with two more in-the-mon-ey starts at Laurel bringing his 2013 total earnings to an astounding 10 times more than the $7548 he had earned as a juvenile Clearly as Harriet Beecher Stowe predicted when you hang on long enough the tide will turn in your favor
Since then the Page McKenney team has been handsomely rewarded even while steadily stepping him up in class Also oc-casionally joining the team is two-time lead-ing Parx Racing jockey Frankie Pennington Karamanos and Pennington have split riding duties and both get along perfectly with the gelding The former has six total victories with the gelding while the latter boasts three wins including a track record-setting perfor-mance at Parx last July 7
Pennington loves when he has the op-portunity to hop aboard Page McKenney ldquoHersquos an all-around class horse who loves his job and always tries 100 He just never gives up and has a great trainer who really knows himrdquo he says
Last August Karamanos and Page McKenney captured their first stakes victo-ry together at Penn National in the $90000 Robellino Stakes for PA-Breds defeating graded stakes winner Edge of Reality by 1frac34 lengths Two starts later Pennington guid-ed the gelding to his second stakes win in the $75000 First Responder Stakes Page McKenney also boasts stakes-placings in the $100000 Alphabet Soup Handicap for PA-Breds $130000 Mountaineer Mile $100000 Richard W Small Stakes and closed out 2014 with a second-place fin-ish in the $200000 Claiming Crown Jewel Stakes at Gulfstream Park
This year the PA-Bred has been even better In the John B Campbell Handicap on Valentinersquos Day at his Laurel Park home base Page McKenney was pinned behind horses going around the far turn and was forced to swing five-wide under Karamanos then closed tenaciously between horses
and got up to win by a hard-fought neck A second victory in the Harrison E Johnson Memorial Stakes by 4 lengths at Laurel on March 21 stamped his ticket to the $15 million Charles Town Classic-G2 on April 18
In the most difficult race of his career he faced the earners of nearly $10 million including superstar Shared Belief Whitney Handicap-G1 winner Moreno and Charles Town Classic defending champ Imperative Page McKenney had every excuse to fail but thatrsquos something he just doesnrsquot do anymore He overcame being carried wide on each of the three tight turns and closed courageous-ly to capture third place behind the new track record-setter Moreno
The best part of the story is that he is just coming into his own According to Ep-pler ldquoHersquos just so consistent I canrsquot tell you why hersquos consistent but he just isrdquo
One thing is for sure with the story of the flashy chestnut Pennsylvania-bred geld-ing never give up when rough waves start pushing you out to sea The team of Page McKenney followed their tide came roaring back to shore and is on the way to a suc-cessful season in 2015 a

Blasts FromThe Past
IROQUOIS1878 Leamingtonmdash Maggie B B by Australian Bred by Aristides Welch owned by Pierre Lorillard IV trained by Jacob Pincus Foaled at Erdenheim Stud
1881 Epsom Derby winner Iroquois stands alone among the giants
of horse racing as the only one whose vic-tory ndash in the 1881 English Derby ndash caused trading on Wall Street to be suspended The horse who stopped Wall Street was foaled at Erdenheim Stud in Chestnut Hill Pa His breeder Aristides Welch sold him in a pack-age of yearlings to tobacco baron Pierre Lorillard who raced the colt to international acclaim
What the brown son of LeamingtonmdashMaggie B B by Australian accomplished in his 3-year-old season is almost beyond belief His victory in the June 1 Epsom Derby was preceded by three challenging closely spaced performances a second in the Two Thousand Guineas (May 4) and victories in the (May 6) Newmarket Stakes and (May 7) Burwell Stakes at Newmarket Two weeks after the Epsom Derby he came back to win the St James Palace Stakes (carrying 131 pounds) After a three-month break he won the Doncaster St Leger In October he was third in the (mile and a quarter) Champion Stakes behind Bend Or winner of the 1880 Derby The next day ndash after being blanketed for ldquosweating galloprdquo after his connections deemed he had not gotten enough out of the Champion Stakes ndash Iroquois was sent to the post for the mile and a half Newmarket Der-by He won Unraced at 4 he campaigned successfully although less spectacularly at 5 then was brought back to stand at stud at Lorillardrsquos Rancocas Farm in New Jersey
The euphoria that surrounded Iroquoisrsquo English Derby has likely not been expe-rienced by present-day horsemen even those who remember such stirring events as Secretariatrsquos Belmont Stakes win Turf writers penned eloquent poems in his hon-or Men toasted Iroquois in hotels and sport-ing clubs Some among the disenchanted British sniffed that Iroquois was in fact very nearly English-bred being by an imported stallion and out of a mare whose sire was also imported Still circumstance dictated
the Iroquois be foaled in Pennsylvania ndash and go on to become the standard-bearer for an entire nation

The Tide Has Turned For Page McKenney
Harriet Beecher Stowe once pro-claimed ldquoWhen you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer never give up then for that is just the place and time that the tide will turnrdquo The story of a Pennsylvania-bred gelding named Page McK-enney indeed proves that you should never give up on a dream The handsome chestnut was consistent in his early career ndash consistent-ly inconsistent
His juvenile year as a racehorse began with a sixth-place finish at Colo-nial Downs where he was beaten by double-digit lengths Owner Jalin Stable and trainer Jazz Napravnik then tried races at Sarato-ga Race Course and Laurel Park none of which were successful However while at first glance a ninth-place finish in Maryland may look like a wash it was the begin-ning of a learning experience for Page McKenney He had finally started to show some speed running along the rail only 2 lengths off the lead-ers before faltering in the stretch
Four unsuccessful rac-es to open his career meant that it was time for a drop in class so his connections ran him for a claiming tag of $16000 at Laurel This time not only was he able to keep up but he also prompted the pace throughout en route to his very first career finish on the board
Two more starts that year brought his record to a second and a third from seven
starts It would have been understandable for his connections to throw in the towel but this is a story about never giving up
His first few starts of 2013 were varied in distance surface and results a prom-ising second-place finish followed by dis-appointment while sprinting on the dirt at
Laurel then another fast-closing second at Penn National One month later he was off the board again while stretching out to a mile Finally his connections tried a 11frasl16-mile turf race at Pimlico on Kentucky Derby
day where he ran evenly before closing late to pass tiring competitors but was again off the board
In his next start at Colonial Downs the tide began to change for Page McKenney as he broke on top and high-tailed it to the lead then drew off down the stretch
to finally break his maiden by three emphatic lengths It was his lucky 13th start and one of the last for his original connections He was claimed for $16000 at Penn National one month later
Making his first start for new owner Adam Sta-ple and trainer Mary Eppler Page McKenney contested a 11frasl16-mile allowance race on the turf at Penn National ex-hibiting tactical speed early before making a late bid en route to a second-place fin-ish and showing promise un-der the care of his new barn
On Sept 25 2013 he partnered with top jockey Horacio Karamanos for the first time It was a winning combination as the duo stalked the pace off the lead-ers and then dug in gamely approaching the wire re-sponding to heavy urging by his rider and holding off a late closer by a head
After that tenacious vic-tory Staple received a phone call from Dr James Bryant of Jalin Stable who was in-
terested in buying back part ownership of their homebred It was a difficult decision but Staple decided to let them join him as a minority owner It turned out to be a brilliant move for Jalin Stable
by Nikki Sherman
Eppler stepped Page McKenney up in class for his next race a starter allowance on the turf at Laurel Park Again partnering with Karamanos they blew up the tote board by paying $3960 to win Despite stumbling at the start his speed quickly carried him up to the leaders where he bided his time before taking over at the eighth pole and holding off the late-closing Grain to win by a half length
Page McKenney closed out his sopho-more season with two more in-the-mon-ey starts at Laurel bringing his 2013 total earnings to an astounding 10 times more than the $7548 he had earned as a juvenile Clearly as Harriet Beecher Stowe predicted when you hang on long enough the tide will turn in your favor
Since then the Page McKenney team has been handsomely rewarded even while steadily stepping him up in class Also oc-casionally joining the team is two-time lead-ing Parx Racing jockey Frankie Pennington Karamanos and Pennington have split riding duties and both get along perfectly with the gelding The former has six total victories with the gelding while the latter boasts three wins including a track record-setting perfor-mance at Parx last July 7
Pennington loves when he has the op-portunity to hop aboard Page McKenney ldquoHersquos an all-around class horse who loves his job and always tries 100 He just never gives up and has a great trainer who really knows himrdquo he says
Last August Karamanos and Page McKenney captured their first stakes victo-ry together at Penn National in the $90000 Robellino Stakes for PA-Breds defeating graded stakes winner Edge of Reality by 1frac34 lengths Two starts later Pennington guid-ed the gelding to his second stakes win in the $75000 First Responder Stakes Page McKenney also boasts stakes-placings in the $100000 Alphabet Soup Handicap for PA-Breds $130000 Mountaineer Mile $100000 Richard W Small Stakes and closed out 2014 with a second-place fin-ish in the $200000 Claiming Crown Jewel Stakes at Gulfstream Park
This year the PA-Bred has been even better In the John B Campbell Handicap on Valentinersquos Day at his Laurel Park home base Page McKenney was pinned behind horses going around the far turn and was forced to swing five-wide under Karamanos then closed tenaciously between horses
and got up to win by a hard-fought neck A second victory in the Harrison E Johnson Memorial Stakes by 4 lengths at Laurel on March 21 stamped his ticket to the $15 million Charles Town Classic-G2 on April 18
In the most difficult race of his career he faced the earners of nearly $10 million including superstar Shared Belief Whitney Handicap-G1 winner Moreno and Charles Town Classic defending champ Imperative Page McKenney had every excuse to fail but thatrsquos something he just doesnrsquot do anymore He overcame being carried wide on each of the three tight turns and closed courageous-ly to capture third place behind the new track record-setter Moreno
The best part of the story is that he is just coming into his own According to Ep-pler ldquoHersquos just so consistent I canrsquot tell you why hersquos consistent but he just isrdquo
One thing is for sure with the story of the flashy chestnut Pennsylvania-bred geld-ing never give up when rough waves start pushing you out to sea The team of Page McKenney followed their tide came roaring back to shore and is on the way to a suc-cessful season in 2015 a

Blasts FromThe Past
IROQUOIS1878 Leamingtonmdash Maggie B B by Australian Bred by Aristides Welch owned by Pierre Lorillard IV trained by Jacob Pincus Foaled at Erdenheim Stud
1881 Epsom Derby winner Iroquois stands alone among the giants
of horse racing as the only one whose vic-tory ndash in the 1881 English Derby ndash caused trading on Wall Street to be suspended The horse who stopped Wall Street was foaled at Erdenheim Stud in Chestnut Hill Pa His breeder Aristides Welch sold him in a pack-age of yearlings to tobacco baron Pierre Lorillard who raced the colt to international acclaim
What the brown son of LeamingtonmdashMaggie B B by Australian accomplished in his 3-year-old season is almost beyond belief His victory in the June 1 Epsom Derby was preceded by three challenging closely spaced performances a second in the Two Thousand Guineas (May 4) and victories in the (May 6) Newmarket Stakes and (May 7) Burwell Stakes at Newmarket Two weeks after the Epsom Derby he came back to win the St James Palace Stakes (carrying 131 pounds) After a three-month break he won the Doncaster St Leger In October he was third in the (mile and a quarter) Champion Stakes behind Bend Or winner of the 1880 Derby The next day ndash after being blanketed for ldquosweating galloprdquo after his connections deemed he had not gotten enough out of the Champion Stakes ndash Iroquois was sent to the post for the mile and a half Newmarket Der-by He won Unraced at 4 he campaigned successfully although less spectacularly at 5 then was brought back to stand at stud at Lorillardrsquos Rancocas Farm in New Jersey
The euphoria that surrounded Iroquoisrsquo English Derby has likely not been expe-rienced by present-day horsemen even those who remember such stirring events as Secretariatrsquos Belmont Stakes win Turf writers penned eloquent poems in his hon-or Men toasted Iroquois in hotels and sport-ing clubs Some among the disenchanted British sniffed that Iroquois was in fact very nearly English-bred being by an imported stallion and out of a mare whose sire was also imported Still circumstance dictated
the Iroquois be foaled in Pennsylvania ndash and go on to become the standard-bearer for an entire nation

4PA THOROUGHBRED REPORT
The Tide Has Turned For Page McKenney
Harriet Beecher Stowe once pro-claimed ldquoWhen you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer never give up then for that is just the place and time that the tide will turnrdquo The story of a Pennsylvania-bred gelding named Page McK-enney indeed proves that you should never give up on a dream The handsome chestnut was consistent in his early career ndash consistent-ly inconsistent
His juvenile year as a racehorse began with a sixth-place finish at Colo-nial Downs where he was beaten by double-digit lengths Owner Jalin Stable and trainer Jazz Napravnik then tried races at Sarato-ga Race Course and Laurel Park none of which were successful However while at first glance a ninth-place finish in Maryland may look like a wash it was the begin-ning of a learning experience for Page McKenney He had finally started to show some speed running along the rail only 2 lengths off the lead-ers before faltering in the stretch
Four unsuccessful rac-es to open his career meant that it was time for a drop in class so his connections ran him for a claiming tag of $16000 at Laurel This time not only was he able to keep up but he also prompted the pace throughout en route to his very first career finish on the board
Two more starts that year brought his record to a second and a third from seven
starts It would have been understandable for his connections to throw in the towel but this is a story about never giving up
His first few starts of 2013 were varied in distance surface and results a prom-ising second-place finish followed by dis-appointment while sprinting on the dirt at
Laurel then another fast-closing second at Penn National One month later he was off the board again while stretching out to a mile Finally his connections tried a 11frasl16-mile turf race at Pimlico on Kentucky Derby
day where he ran evenly before closing late to pass tiring competitors but was again off the board
In his next start at Colonial Downs the tide began to change for Page McKenney as he broke on top and high-tailed it to the lead then drew off down the stretch
to finally break his maiden by three emphatic lengths It was his lucky 13th start and one of the last for his original connections He was claimed for $16000 at Penn National one month later
Making his first start for new owner Adam Sta-ple and trainer Mary Eppler Page McKenney contested a 11frasl16-mile allowance race on the turf at Penn National ex-hibiting tactical speed early before making a late bid en route to a second-place fin-ish and showing promise un-der the care of his new barn
On Sept 25 2013 he partnered with top jockey Horacio Karamanos for the first time It was a winning combination as the duo stalked the pace off the lead-ers and then dug in gamely approaching the wire re-sponding to heavy urging by his rider and holding off a late closer by a head
After that tenacious vic-tory Staple received a phone call from Dr James Bryant of Jalin Stable who was in-
terested in buying back part ownership of their homebred It was a difficult decision but Staple decided to let them join him as a minority owner It turned out to be a brilliant move for Jalin Stable
by Nikki Sherman
Eppler stepped Page McKenney up in class for his next race a starter allowance on the turf at Laurel Park Again partnering with Karamanos they blew up the tote board by paying $3960 to win Despite stumbling at the start his speed quickly carried him up to the leaders where he bided his time before taking over at the eighth pole and holding off the late-closing Grain to win by a half length
Page McKenney closed out his sopho-more season with two more in-the-mon-ey starts at Laurel bringing his 2013 total earnings to an astounding 10 times more than the $7548 he had earned as a juvenile Clearly as Harriet Beecher Stowe predicted when you hang on long enough the tide will turn in your favor
Since then the Page McKenney team has been handsomely rewarded even while steadily stepping him up in class Also oc-casionally joining the team is two-time lead-ing Parx Racing jockey Frankie Pennington Karamanos and Pennington have split riding duties and both get along perfectly with the gelding The former has six total victories with the gelding while the latter boasts three wins including a track record-setting perfor-mance at Parx last July 7
Pennington loves when he has the op-portunity to hop aboard Page McKenney ldquoHersquos an all-around class horse who loves his job and always tries 100 He just never gives up and has a great trainer who really knows himrdquo he says
Last August Karamanos and Page McKenney captured their first stakes victo-ry together at Penn National in the $90000 Robellino Stakes for PA-Breds defeating graded stakes winner Edge of Reality by 1frac34 lengths Two starts later Pennington guid-ed the gelding to his second stakes win in the $75000 First Responder Stakes Page McKenney also boasts stakes-placings in the $100000 Alphabet Soup Handicap for PA-Breds $130000 Mountaineer Mile $100000 Richard W Small Stakes and closed out 2014 with a second-place fin-ish in the $200000 Claiming Crown Jewel Stakes at Gulfstream Park
This year the PA-Bred has been even better In the John B Campbell Handicap on Valentinersquos Day at his Laurel Park home base Page McKenney was pinned behind horses going around the far turn and was forced to swing five-wide under Karamanos then closed tenaciously between horses
and got up to win by a hard-fought neck A second victory in the Harrison E Johnson Memorial Stakes by 4 lengths at Laurel on March 21 stamped his ticket to the $15 million Charles Town Classic-G2 on April 18
In the most difficult race of his career he faced the earners of nearly $10 million including superstar Shared Belief Whitney Handicap-G1 winner Moreno and Charles Town Classic defending champ Imperative Page McKenney had every excuse to fail but thatrsquos something he just doesnrsquot do anymore He overcame being carried wide on each of the three tight turns and closed courageous-ly to capture third place behind the new track record-setter Moreno
The best part of the story is that he is just coming into his own According to Ep-pler ldquoHersquos just so consistent I canrsquot tell you why hersquos consistent but he just isrdquo
One thing is for sure with the story of the flashy chestnut Pennsylvania-bred geld-ing never give up when rough waves start pushing you out to sea The team of Page McKenney followed their tide came roaring back to shore and is on the way to a suc-cessful season in 2015 a

Blasts FromThe Past
IROQUOIS1878 Leamingtonmdash Maggie B B by Australian Bred by Aristides Welch owned by Pierre Lorillard IV trained by Jacob Pincus Foaled at Erdenheim Stud
1881 Epsom Derby winner Iroquois stands alone among the giants
of horse racing as the only one whose vic-tory ndash in the 1881 English Derby ndash caused trading on Wall Street to be suspended The horse who stopped Wall Street was foaled at Erdenheim Stud in Chestnut Hill Pa His breeder Aristides Welch sold him in a pack-age of yearlings to tobacco baron Pierre Lorillard who raced the colt to international acclaim
What the brown son of LeamingtonmdashMaggie B B by Australian accomplished in his 3-year-old season is almost beyond belief His victory in the June 1 Epsom Derby was preceded by three challenging closely spaced performances a second in the Two Thousand Guineas (May 4) and victories in the (May 6) Newmarket Stakes and (May 7) Burwell Stakes at Newmarket Two weeks after the Epsom Derby he came back to win the St James Palace Stakes (carrying 131 pounds) After a three-month break he won the Doncaster St Leger In October he was third in the (mile and a quarter) Champion Stakes behind Bend Or winner of the 1880 Derby The next day ndash after being blanketed for ldquosweating galloprdquo after his connections deemed he had not gotten enough out of the Champion Stakes ndash Iroquois was sent to the post for the mile and a half Newmarket Der-by He won Unraced at 4 he campaigned successfully although less spectacularly at 5 then was brought back to stand at stud at Lorillardrsquos Rancocas Farm in New Jersey
The euphoria that surrounded Iroquoisrsquo English Derby has likely not been expe-rienced by present-day horsemen even those who remember such stirring events as Secretariatrsquos Belmont Stakes win Turf writers penned eloquent poems in his hon-or Men toasted Iroquois in hotels and sport-ing clubs Some among the disenchanted British sniffed that Iroquois was in fact very nearly English-bred being by an imported stallion and out of a mare whose sire was also imported Still circumstance dictated
the Iroquois be foaled in Pennsylvania ndash and go on to become the standard-bearer for an entire nation
Blasts From the Past takes a look back at Pennsylvania-breds of distinction throughout history The majority of the biographies were included in the PHBArsquos 50th year anniversary commemorative booklet published in 1998

Eppler stepped Page McKenney up in class for his next race a starter allowance on the turf at Laurel Park Again partnering with Karamanos they blew up the tote board by paying $3960 to win Despite stumbling at the start his speed quickly carried him up to the leaders where he bided his time before taking over at the eighth pole and holding off the late-closing Grain to win by a half length
Page McKenney closed out his sopho-more season with two more in-the-mon-ey starts at Laurel bringing his 2013 total earnings to an astounding 10 times more than the $7548 he had earned as a juvenile Clearly as Harriet Beecher Stowe predicted when you hang on long enough the tide will turn in your favor
Since then the Page McKenney team has been handsomely rewarded even while steadily stepping him up in class Also oc-casionally joining the team is two-time lead-ing Parx Racing jockey Frankie Pennington Karamanos and Pennington have split riding duties and both get along perfectly with the gelding The former has six total victories with the gelding while the latter boasts three wins including a track record-setting perfor-mance at Parx last July 7
Pennington loves when he has the op-portunity to hop aboard Page McKenney ldquoHersquos an all-around class horse who loves his job and always tries 100 He just never gives up and has a great trainer who really knows himrdquo he says
Last August Karamanos and Page McKenney captured their first stakes victo-ry together at Penn National in the $90000 Robellino Stakes for PA-Breds defeating graded stakes winner Edge of Reality by 1frac34 lengths Two starts later Pennington guid-ed the gelding to his second stakes win in the $75000 First Responder Stakes Page McKenney also boasts stakes-placings in the $100000 Alphabet Soup Handicap for PA-Breds $130000 Mountaineer Mile $100000 Richard W Small Stakes and closed out 2014 with a second-place fin-ish in the $200000 Claiming Crown Jewel Stakes at Gulfstream Park
This year the PA-Bred has been even better In the John B Campbell Handicap on Valentinersquos Day at his Laurel Park home base Page McKenney was pinned behind horses going around the far turn and was forced to swing five-wide under Karamanos then closed tenaciously between horses
and got up to win by a hard-fought neck A second victory in the Harrison E Johnson Memorial Stakes by 4 lengths at Laurel on March 21 stamped his ticket to the $15 million Charles Town Classic-G2 on April 18
In the most difficult race of his career he faced the earners of nearly $10 million including superstar Shared Belief Whitney Handicap-G1 winner Moreno and Charles Town Classic defending champ Imperative Page McKenney had every excuse to fail but thatrsquos something he just doesnrsquot do anymore He overcame being carried wide on each of the three tight turns and closed courageous-ly to capture third place behind the new track record-setter Moreno
The best part of the story is that he is just coming into his own According to Ep-pler ldquoHersquos just so consistent I canrsquot tell you why hersquos consistent but he just isrdquo
One thing is for sure with the story of the flashy chestnut Pennsylvania-bred geld-ing never give up when rough waves start pushing you out to sea The team of Page McKenney followed their tide came roaring back to shore and is on the way to a suc-cessful season in 2015 a

1881 Epsom Derby winner Iroquois stands alone among the giants
of horse racing as the only one whose vic-tory ndash in the 1881 English Derby ndash caused trading on Wall Street to be suspended The horse who stopped Wall Street was foaled at Erdenheim Stud in Chestnut Hill Pa His breeder Aristides Welch sold him in a pack-age of yearlings to tobacco baron Pierre Lorillard who raced the colt to international acclaim
What the brown son of LeamingtonmdashMaggie B B by Australian accomplished in his 3-year-old season is almost beyond belief His victory in the June 1 Epsom Derby was preceded by three challenging closely spaced performances a second in the Two Thousand Guineas (May 4) and victories in the (May 6) Newmarket Stakes and (May 7) Burwell Stakes at Newmarket Two weeks after the Epsom Derby he came back to win the St James Palace Stakes (carrying 131 pounds) After a three-month break he won the Doncaster St Leger In October he was third in the (mile and a quarter) Champion Stakes behind Bend Or winner of the 1880 Derby The next day ndash after being blanketed for ldquosweating galloprdquo after his connections deemed he had not gotten enough out of the Champion Stakes ndash Iroquois was sent to the post for the mile and a half Newmarket Der-by He won Unraced at 4 he campaigned successfully although less spectacularly at 5 then was brought back to stand at stud at Lorillardrsquos Rancocas Farm in New Jersey
The euphoria that surrounded Iroquoisrsquo English Derby has likely not been expe-rienced by present-day horsemen even those who remember such stirring events as Secretariatrsquos Belmont Stakes win Turf writers penned eloquent poems in his hon-or Men toasted Iroquois in hotels and sport-ing clubs Some among the disenchanted British sniffed that Iroquois was in fact very nearly English-bred being by an imported stallion and out of a mare whose sire was also imported Still circumstance dictated

Blasts FromThe Past
IROQUOIS1878 Leamingtonmdash Maggie B B by Australian Bred by Aristides Welch owned by Pierre Lorillard IV trained by Jacob Pincus Foaled at Erdenheim Stud
1881 Epsom Derby winner Iroquois stands alone among the giants
of horse racing as the only one whose vic-tory ndash in the 1881 English Derby ndash caused trading on Wall Street to be suspended The horse who stopped Wall Street was foaled at Erdenheim Stud in Chestnut Hill Pa His breeder Aristides Welch sold him in a pack-age of yearlings to tobacco baron Pierre Lorillard who raced the colt to international acclaim
What the brown son of LeamingtonmdashMaggie B B by Australian accomplished in his 3-year-old season is almost beyond belief His victory in the June 1 Epsom Derby was preceded by three challenging closely spaced performances a second in the Two Thousand Guineas (May 4) and victories in the (May 6) Newmarket Stakes and (May 7) Burwell Stakes at Newmarket Two weeks after the Epsom Derby he came back to win the St James Palace Stakes (carrying 131 pounds) After a three-month break he won the Doncaster St Leger In October he was third in the (mile and a quarter) Champion Stakes behind Bend Or winner of the 1880 Derby The next day ndash after being blanketed for ldquosweating galloprdquo after his connections deemed he had not gotten enough out of the Champion Stakes ndash Iroquois was sent to the post for the mile and a half Newmarket Der-by He won Unraced at 4 he campaigned successfully although less spectacularly at 5 then was brought back to stand at stud at Lorillardrsquos Rancocas Farm in New Jersey
The euphoria that surrounded Iroquoisrsquo English Derby has likely not been expe-rienced by present-day horsemen even those who remember such stirring events as Secretariatrsquos Belmont Stakes win Turf writers penned eloquent poems in his hon-or Men toasted Iroquois in hotels and sport-ing clubs Some among the disenchanted British sniffed that Iroquois was in fact very nearly English-bred being by an imported stallion and out of a mare whose sire was also imported Still circumstance dictated
the Iroquois be foaled in Pennsylvania ndash and go on to become the standard-bearer for an entire nation
Blasts From the Past takes a look back at Pennsylvania-breds of distinction throughout history The majority of the biographies were included in the PHBArsquos 50th year anniversary commemorative booklet published in 1998

Blasts FromThe Past
IROQUOIS1878 Leamingtonmdash Maggie B B by Australian Bred by Aristides Welch owned by Pierre Lorillard IV trained by Jacob Pincus Foaled at Erdenheim Stud
1881 Epsom Derby winner Iroquois stands alone among the giants
of horse racing as the only one whose vic-tory ndash in the 1881 English Derby ndash caused trading on Wall Street to be suspended The horse who stopped Wall Street was foaled at Erdenheim Stud in Chestnut Hill Pa His breeder Aristides Welch sold him in a pack-age of yearlings to tobacco baron Pierre Lorillard who raced the colt to international acclaim
What the brown son of LeamingtonmdashMaggie B B by Australian accomplished in his 3-year-old season is almost beyond belief His victory in the June 1 Epsom Derby was preceded by three challenging closely spaced performances a second in the Two Thousand Guineas (May 4) and victories in the (May 6) Newmarket Stakes and (May 7) Burwell Stakes at Newmarket Two weeks after the Epsom Derby he came back to win the St James Palace Stakes (carrying 131 pounds) After a three-month break he won the Doncaster St Leger In October he was third in the (mile and a quarter) Champion Stakes behind Bend Or winner of the 1880 Derby The next day ndash after being blanketed for ldquosweating galloprdquo after his connections deemed he had not gotten enough out of the Champion Stakes ndash Iroquois was sent to the post for the mile and a half Newmarket Der-by He won Unraced at 4 he campaigned successfully although less spectacularly at 5 then was brought back to stand at stud at Lorillardrsquos Rancocas Farm in New Jersey
The euphoria that surrounded Iroquoisrsquo English Derby has likely not been expe-rienced by present-day horsemen even those who remember such stirring events as Secretariatrsquos Belmont Stakes win Turf writers penned eloquent poems in his hon-or Men toasted Iroquois in hotels and sport-ing clubs Some among the disenchanted British sniffed that Iroquois was in fact very nearly English-bred being by an imported stallion and out of a mare whose sire was also imported Still circumstance dictated
the Iroquois be foaled in Pennsylvania ndash and go on to become the standard-bearer for an entire nation
Blasts From the Past takes a look back at Pennsylvania-breds of distinction throughout history The majority of the biographies were included in the PHBArsquos 50th year anniversary commemorative booklet published in 1998
