Rewarding A Good Deed: Farm Offers Free Breeding To Big Brown To Connections Of Rescued Mare
Following the successful effort by horseman John Murrell and trainer Carl Domino to claim back race mare Rock N Cozy last month, a New York farm has offered to waive the stud fee for the stallion Big Brown as a reward for the men's efforts.
Off Track Thoroughbreds reports that Sunrise Stallions General Manager Eric Bishop made the offer to Murrell and Domino, as a way to thank them for their efforts in claiming and retiring the hard-knocking racemare, Rock N Cozy. On the racetrack, Rock N Cozy earned $231,000 in 39 career starts.
Bishop indicated that he offered the free breeding (an $8,000 value) as a way to thank the men for "setting a stellar example in the racing business."
“There are a lot of good people in this business and a lot of not-so-good people in this business," Bishop said. "When we saw what John Murrell and Carl Domino did for Rock N Cozy, we decided we wanted to do something nice for them, because they’re good people."
