JUNE 2011
Meet and Greet with Animal Kingdom Early Saturday morning (May 14, 2011) a few lucky Maryland pony clubbers and their
Waredaca pony clubbers and their parents head out onto the track.
parents got a chance to see the 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom at the Fair Hill Training Center. T e group, from Waredaca in Laytonsville, had been planning a fi eld trip to the training center for several weeks, not knowing that the future Derby winner would be stabled at Team Valor International’s barn with trainer Graham Motion. When news of the Derby winner heading to Fair Hill hit the press, Sally Goswell, man- ager of the FHTC, set up a chance for the pony clubbers to see Animal Kingdom. T ey fi rst watched horses working on the synthetic track and met such trainers as Michael Matz (also an Olympic medalist in show jumping). Animal Kingdom, Graham Motion and his team arrived at the track around 9 am and while all the press, photographers and racing enthusiasts had to settle for watching from the outside rail, the pony clubbers got a closer view from standing in between the two tracks. After watching the Derby winner train, they followed the Valor crew back to the barns, snapped shots while Animal Kingdom got a bath and then got a chance to pick Anita Motion’s brain, asking all kinds of questions from feeding a race horse to learning how to ride them successfully. T e rest of the morning was spent touring the various facilities at FHTC, including the vet clinic, T erapy Center, and training starting gate.
The pony clubbers hitch a ride down to the Fair Hill Vet Clinic with Sally Goswell.
