Congratulations to Texan connections in Colorado
Our hats tip once again to the Texas-bred Golly Bret (Kador De Blaziet x Golly Gal by By Golly), as he pulled off another win this time in Colorado and bringing his earnings to $66,990. He is owned and bred by Texan Sam Vasquez and is trained by Crystal Jack. Congratulations also go out to the Teutsch family, who call both Colorado and Texas their home with ranches in both states. The Teutches are active participants in Texas racing, and have won several races thus far in Colorado's meet with horses under the trainership of Liz Brand.
