April 6 - Oscar Performance

This boy is out of Devine Actress, who also gave us another Oscar - Oscar Nominated, who was also bred by John and Jerry Amerman. The full brothers are by Kitten's Joy. Oscar Nominated was claimed away from the Amerman's by Ken Ramsey who owned Kitten’s Joy. Ken promptly turned around and won the G3 Jeff Ruby Stakes at Turfway Park with Oscar Nominated. There must be something in the blood because this year's winner of the Jeff Ruby Stakes was a son of Oscar Performance named Endlessly who was owned and bred by John and Jerry Amerman. Now, we are waiting to see if Endlessly wants to run the distance and the surface of Churchill Downs before deciding if the Amermans will have a horse in this year's Kentucky Derby.

I've posted about the Amermans not too long ago - it seems most years a nice person wins the Derby. If that's the case this year, then you won't find a nicer couple than John and Jerry.
