2015 Horse Racing

[cbhawg03]

Got this and since we have a little over a week until Oaklawn starts, see if you can name all 25 of these horses.  Will pass along the answers later in the week.

How many of these big money earners can you identify? I'll give you each horse's stats for the season and a maybe a clue or two and then all you have to do is name the millionaire.

1) Oh, come on, no clues should be required for the top money earner for 2015.  [8: 7-1-0 $8,228,800]

2) This filly phenom on the turf beat the best boys from around the world. [7: 5-2-0 $2,092,520]

3) Two big grade one victories in New York earned this fan favorite more than half of his two million dollars. [6: 3-0-2 $2,075,660]

4) Just shy of $2 million was earned with only two wins. This grey three-year-old was a favorite of HRN editor Brian Zipse. [9: 2-3-1 $1,912,200

] 5) This New York-bred four-year-old was one of the biggest surprises on this list of millionaires. Three in the money finishes in three of the biggest year-end races produced big bucks. [8: 4-1-1 $1,767,100]

6) How do you become a millionaire with only one win during the year? This three-year-old did it! [9: 1-1-2 $1,735,770]

7) Duplicate your biggest win from the year before and throw in another grade one in your career finale and you're a millionaire again. [7: 3-2-1 $1,695,000]

8- As a six-year-old turf specialist, this old girl knows how to win big at the end of the year. [6: 3-1-0 $1,658,800]

9) It took this Irish-bred filly only one race in the US to take down the ninth spot on the earnings list. Think Euro [1: 1-0-0 $1,650,000]

10) A perfect five for five year will make this west coast colt a divisional champion. [5: 5-0-0 $1,613,600]

11) This unbeaten filly is the distaff equivalent of the #10 earner. [4: 4-0-0 $1,502,000]

12) All controversy aside, this three-year-old colt was one fast guy last year. [7: 6-0-0 $1,466,900]

13) With a win in the biggest race for Older Dirt Females this gal hit it big. [5: 3-1-0 $1,430,000]

14) Another great year for this seven-year-old turf star, but it may not be enough for an Eclipse Award. [6: 3-2-1 $1,421,000]

15) This speedy six-year-old probably had his best year in a very competitive division. [7: 3-2-1 $1,378,800]

16) What an amazing year for a horse that had a stablemate that was pretty hard to beat. [7: 5-0-1 $1,353,080]

17) In a wide-open division this filly's lone grade one victory was in a very rich race. [8: 4-2-1 $1,256,000]

18) This five-year-old Florida-bred mare won two grade one races in a row in the late summer. [8: 3-4-0 $1,234,720]

19) This very talented and lightly raced colt won his final career start in Kentucky. [4: 3-1-0 $1,194,000]

20) I sure was surprised to see this horse on the list this year where he was also found in 2014. He had only one win in a race where the overwhelming favorite had a tough day. [6: 1-2-1 $1,157,250]

21) This six-year-old turf miler rarely ran a bad race and got his best win in Kentucky in October. [6: 3-0-1 $1,149,100]

22) This three-year-old turf star went from Penn National to a very big purse at Belmont Park to pick up a big part of his million dollars. [8: 4-2-2 $1,117,754]

23) Everybody had a cute headline when this turf runner won his big races in the Midwest. [6: 4-1-0 $1,088,600]

24) He only had one win, which was a grade one turf stake in New York, because he had to battle it out with two of his stablemates in many of his races. [8: 1-4-0 $1,077,000]

25) This was the third million dollar year for this mare who will win her third Eclipse Award in 2015. [5: 5-0-0 $1,068,300]
