Michigan’s Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, and Arabian horsemen’s groups named their 2015 champions over the weekend, largely drawing on the second flat meet since returning to Hazel Park. Moving Style was named the state’s Horse of the Year by the Michigan Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association. The 7-year-old Meadow Prayer gelding won 6 of 11 starts last year for earnings of $95,290, highlighted by his second straight win in the Michigan Breeders’ Governor’s Cup Stakes at Hazel Park. It was his only start of the year at the track, making him the only one of this year’s award winners to not compete in or win his or her division of the Michigan Sire Stakes. It was a year of upheaval for Moving Style, who began the year running for Romar LLC, which claimed the gelding from owner Ron Dowdy and the training operation of Shane Spiess and Tracey Wisner in the spring of 2014. Moving Style was claimed in his first start of 2015, a third-place finish at Tampa Bay Downs, by trainer John Rigattieri and T and C Stable. Winning Stables and trainer Gerald Bennett claimed him in his next start, a win at Tampa Bay, and campaigned him to another win and a second at that track before selling him privately to Spiess, who saddled the horse for his father, Merril Spiess. The horse won 4 of 7 starts in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana after returning to the Spiess shed row. Moving Style was bred in Michigan by James and Marcia Arnold’s Arnold Farm. Comeflywithanangel, Michigan’s 2014 Horse of the Year, earned her second consecutive title as the state’s top older female, highlighted by wins in her division of the Michigan Sire Stakes and the Larkspur Stakes at Hazel Park. Harlan Cat was named the state’s Broodmare of the Year, represented by 2-year-old female of the year High Legend and stakes-placed Court’s Ruling in 2015. Owned by Elkhorn Oaks, the 17-year-old Harlan mare’s four foals to race are all winners, also including stakes-placed Harlan Trace. Perennial leading Michigan sire Equality was once again named Stallion of the Year, with 17 winners in 2015 and combined progeny earnings of $468,136. His leading runners included older female of the year Comeflywithanangel, 3-year-old female of the year Trinity Revealed, 3-year-old male of the year Runnin Fun, and stakes-placed runners Equal Guard and Boo Dutton. The son of Mt. Livermore stands at Dickinson Farms in Montgomery, Mich. Campbell Stables, the Grass Lake, Mich., operation of Jerry and Lisa Campbell, was named Breeder of the Year, while Lisa Campbell was also named Owner of the Year. The Campbells owned or bred runners including juvenile male of the year Gun Powder, and stakes-placed Couldnt Wait, Synclines Trip, Haley Power, Valid Offer, Kiki’s War, and Elegant Trefaire. Guy and Deborah Russell of Hillsdale, Mich., were named Small Breeders of the Year, powered by their lone mare, C R Emmaus Road. The daughter of Rehaan, herself a former Michigan Broodmare of the Year, produced divisional award winners Comeflywithanangel and Trinity Revealed. The Great Lakes Quarter Horse Association did not name a Horse of the Year, but mainstay Dorothys Doll was the only award winner from 2014 to earn honors the following season, taking the chart book (open division) title for older female both years. A 6-year-old daughter of Scrutinizer, Dorothys Doll won 2 of 7 starts last year for owner Amy Piper and trainer Tim Eggleston. Her wins bookended her season, taking a race at Hazel Park and later at Indiana Downs. The Association of Racing Arabian Breeders (A.R.A.B.) of Michigan named Mega Horse its 2015 Horse of the Year. The 4-year-old son of Quaffar de Blaziet won 2 of 5 starts during the 2015 meet at Hazel Park, and was the track’s leading earner among Arabians with $12,654. Mallory Norton trained Mega Horse for her husband, Jesse Norton. Mega Horse, who was also the state’s Michigan-bred and 4-year-old male of the year, was bred by Nicole Holst, who herself was named the state’s Arabian Breeder and Trainer of the Year.
