From 1991-1992 my late husband Bruce Jones, a third generation Saddlebred trainer, was an assistant to Frank Bradshaw. Students of Saddlebred history, as well as of the different schools of Saddlebred training, will know Frank as the trainer of five-time World’s Grand Champion My My, as well as many other wonderful horses.  One time when Frank invited into his home, I spotted …

The Lexington Junior League Horse Show, held on the historic Red Mile racetrack, is the first of the American Saddlebred’s Triple Crown shows.
