Charismatic collection
of classic winners

the flagship Thoroughbred retirement farm, has
welcomed a dual classic winner and champion back
from stud duty in Japan to his old Kentucky home.

First came 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness
winner Silver Charm, who arrived in fall 2014. Less
than a year later, 2002 dual classic winner War
Emblem joined him at the Georgetown, Ky., facility.
Making it a trio of one-time Triple Crown aspirants
is 1999 Horse of the Year Charismatic, who arrived
at Old Friends on Dec. 3.

“This is yet another dream come true,” Old
Friends founder and president Michael Blowen said.
“Charismatic holds such special memories for so
many racing fans, so it’s particularly meaningful to
be able to bring him home.”

The influx of classic winners – ironically, Old
Friends also is home to Touch Gold and Sarava,
who thwarted Silver Charm’s and War Emblem’s
respective Triple Crown bids with Belmont Stakes
victories – has been a point of pride for Blowen, who
started Old Friends in 2003. Old Friends is the only
retirement facility in the country that specializes in
accepting pensioned stallions.

“It’s been a very fortuitous arrangement,” Blowen
said. “We’ve had such a wonderful relationship with
the [Japan Bloodhorse Breeders’ Association] and
everybody in Japan that have been just extremely
understanding about how much we love to get these
horses back.

“I think with the good experience we had with
Silver Charm coming back, and Sunshine Forever
and Ogygian and some of the others, that they now
look at us as a good place to retire some of these
horses because we respect what they did and they
know their fans would love to see them.”

Silver Charm, War Emblem, and Charismatic all
made headlines during the 37-year Triple Crown
drought that was finally ended by American
Pharoah in 2015.

Silver Charm won 12 of his 24 career starts – with
11 graded stakes wins and eight additional graded
placings – for earnings of $6,944,369. A graded
stakes winner all four seasons he raced for owners
Robert and Beverly Lewis and trainer Bob Baffert,
he rose to national prominence in spring 1997,
winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness to
become Baffert’s first classic winner.

beginning with a victory in the Lexington Stakes at
Keeneland in stakes-record time.

That performance earned him a spot in the
Kentucky Derby, and picking up the mount on the
31-1 longshot was Chris Antley, who had won the
Derby on Strike the Gold eight years earlier and
had come back from addiction and a battle with his
weight to return to the saddle. Charismatic won the
Derby and then the Preakness to set up a bid for the
Triple Crown.

In the Belmont, Charismatic dueled early with
champion filly Silverbulletday before fading in the
stretch, finishing third behind Lemon Drop Kid and
Vision and Verse and emerging from the race with a
career-ending fracture to his left front ankle. Sens-
ing something was amiss with the colt, Antley pulled
him up shortly after the wire and lifted the colt’s
injured leg, immobilizing him until help arrived. He
was credited with saving the horse’s life.

War Emblem burst into prominence with a
6 1/4-length victory in the Illinois Derby in spring
2002. He was subsequently purchased by the late
Prince Ahmed bin Salman’s Thoroughbred Corpora-
tion and transferred to Baffert, eventually giving
the trainer another shot at the Triple Crown. For
his new connections, War Emblem posted a front-
running victory in the Kentucky Derby a few weeks
later, then followed with a Preakness triumph.
However, the colt stumbled badly at the start of the
Belmont Stakes and finished eighth in his bid for the
Triple Crown. He added the Haskell Invitational to
his résumé later that summer and was honored as
the Eclipse Award champion 3-year-old male.

Now, the stories of all three horses entwine again

Silver Charm, who stood at Three Chimneys Farm
in Midway, Ky., was sold to Japan with a buyback
clause in 2004; Kentucky-bred War Emblem spent
his entire stud career, which began in 2003, in Japan;
and Kentucky-bred Charismatic, who originally
stood at Lane’s End in Midway, also stood his first

Times have changed since such practices were

whose heart-wrenching 2002 demise in a foreign

problem.

In 2017, racing’s troubles persist in the form of
declining attendance, sparse media coverage, drug
and whip controversies, and, perhaps most devastat-
ing, the widely held belief that racing does not always
do right for its most important asset.

But good things do happen in the sport of kings – a
Triple Crown winner illuminates the stage, a spate
of brilliant fillies dazzles us, a blaze-faced champion
captures our collective imagination. The rise of
Thoroughbred aftercare is another good thing – very
good, in so many ways.

Along with a growing number of retirement,
rescue, and rehab organizations across America,
Old Friends fights the good fight every day to change
the negative perceptions and harsh realities of our
sport. And in the end, racing wins.

Even the most diligent racehorse owners have
A Thoroughbred racehorse like Zenyatta should
never need a place like Old Friends. At least, that’s
the theory. Zenyatta earned $7.3 million, reigned
as 2010 Horse of the Year, and earned a place in the
Hall of Fame. She will be a cherished broodmare for
as long as she is able, after which she is guaranteed
a home for life in a peaceful pasture at a first-rank
Kentucky farm, like Lane’s End.

And yet, reality writes a different tale. Even the
best Thoroughbreds are moveable commodities,
with economic life expectancies that vary based
upon their procreative value. Geldings hit a wall
once they can no longer deliver the goods on the
racetrack. Broodmares cannot produce viable foals
forever, just as stallions someday reach the end
of the commercial line, some of them sooner than
later.

Old Friends has been a haven for such horses,
many of them donated by generous owners, others
recovered from uncomfortable circumstance.
However they get to Old Friends does not matter.
Once there, life for them takes on a different hue.
They become treasures beyond price, iconic heroes
with their accomplishments frozen in time, while a
doting public gets to appreciate them in the flesh.

Ann and Jerry Moss picked up on this vibe
more than a decade ago when they were looking
for a place to permanently retire Ruhlmann, their
20-year-old stallion who had been pensioned after
a modest career at stud. Ruhlmann’s racing life
was anything but modest, however, featuring $1.8
million in earnings, a track record for the mile at
Santa Anita, and a victory in the 1990 Santa Anita
Handicap.

“It was David, my son, who told me about this
great guy who was starting this new facility,” said
Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs, manager of the Moss
racing stable. “I contacted Michael, and he was

up in bad situations. Silver Ray, a son
of Silver Hawk, won the Hoist the
Flag Stakes for the Mosses in 1991 as
a 2-year-old and was stakes-placed at
3. Upon his retirement he was given a
shot as a stallion, but he did his best
work as a sire of sport horses later on for a dressage trainer.
In 2013 Silver Ray, then 24, was discovered in a killer’s pen in Glendale,
Calif., on his way to slaughter. He was snapped up by a rescue group who
spread the word, after which the Mosses stepped in and sent Silver Ray to
Old Friends.
They are also represented at Old Friends by the gelding Ukiah, a Moss
homebred by Unbridled’s Song who was claimed and ended up running
with cheap claimers in Pennsylvania.
“Michael is great about keeping us informed when situations like that
come up,” Ingordo-Shirreffs said. “We want to help when we can.”
Zenyatta stepped up in a big way in 2016 when Maker’s Mark placed her
stylized image on one of their famous collector’s bottles, wrapped it in the
Moss colors, and issued it to the public with great fanfare and a Breeders’
Cup week event. Old Friends was designated at the main beneficiary of the
vigorous sales.
“We sold out of them, and we’re going to get over $120,000 for Old
Friends,” Blowen said. “There were a lot of moving parts, but it was
Zenyatta and the Mosses who made it such a success.”
Karma tends to go ’round and ’round. Kudos. Silver Ray, and Ukiah are
living the good life at Old Friends alongside champions and Breeders’ Cup
winners. Ruhlmann, the horse who started it all for the Mosses, died on
Christmas Eve of 2008.
“I remember they came to visit Ruhlmann here on the Thursday before
the 2005 Kentucky Derby,” Blowen added. “He’d been here only a few
months. Two days later, Ann and Jerry won the Kentucky Derby with
Giacomo. I like to think their good deed for us was well rewarded.”

Midway, considering my next career move.
Then I saw Michael getting into his car. It
was love at first sight, for both of us. I jumped
into his car and snuggled up, purring like

no choice but to take me with him. I know
he has never regretted it. He’s the one who
named me Princess because he recognized
my true identity.

I live in the house with Michael and Diane

Bugs and Bryan, incorrigible bullies who
take turns trying to make my life miser-

a black-and-white troublemaker who lives in
the garage. She thinks she’s a princess, but
she’s just a wannabe.

BeBe sneaks into the house and steals my
treats and my toys. But what really irritates
me is the way she tries to take over the tours.
Everyone knows that I am the chief tour cat.
I love to greet visitors and pose for pictures.
BeBe knows it, too, but that doesn’t stop
her from horning in on tours whenever she
thinks she can get away with it.

In my spare time, I enjoy birdwatching.
I have an impressive life list, for a cat. My
real area of expertise, though, is observing
rodents. You know the expression, “Quiet
as a mouse”? Actually, mice aren’t quiet at
all. They talk to each other in high-pitched,
squeaky voices. Most of what they have
to say about cats is unflattering. So I have
no compunction about killing them, and
eating them, too. Bella will kill a mouse, but
she won’t eat it. I tease her about being too
fastidious. Actually, though, it’s a matter of
personal preference. I grew up catching and
eating mice. I consider them a delicacy. Even
though I’m a princess, part of me is still a
street cat.

Our annual calendar, featuring photographs of our horses taken by
various photographers, is a best-seller. In addition, our Calendar Project
offers supporters the opportunity to “buy a day” on the calendar for $100
to commemorate a special occasion or a special friend.

Visitors to the gift shop rave about our handsome and sturdy Deneen
Pottery mugs with the Old Friends logo, in a variety of styles and colors.
They make excellent gifts.

Gold-tone, engraved halter tags are available for a wide-array of Old
Friends’s horses. Used as a key chain, they are a great way to keep your
favorite horse with you all the time.

We have a limited supply of bracelets fashioned from our horses’ tail
hair. At any given time we may or may not have a bracelet made from a
particular horse’s hair. Availability depends on several factors. Some of
our horses don’t have enough hair to harvest. Some are more coopera-
tive about “donating” than others. If you want a bracelet made of hair
from an Old Friends horse please let us know and we will attempt to fill
the order – or explain to you why we can’t.

Please drop in and shop!
We are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m daily.
You can call us, too: (502) 863-1775
