FAIR HILL, Md.--Over the past month, Graham Motion has had 11 winners, including five stakes winners, Jack Fisher had $170,000 Maiden winner, Keri Brion and Liz Merryman had four winners each, and Michael Matz had a winner.
Jack Fisher Fisher saddled Bruton Street-US' The Jackal, ridden by Forest Boyce, to win a $170.000, 1 1/2 mile Maiden Special Weight turf race at Kentucky Downs by 3/4 length on Aug. 31.
The Jackal, a 5-year-old by Medaglio D'Oro out of a Tapit mare.was trained by Chug McGaughey for Woodford Racing from July 2024 to October, 2024 with one second and one third in maiden special weight races, and then was purchased by Bruton Street to become a steeplechase horse.
Fisher ran him over hurdles at Colonial Downs on Aug. 7, and he won.
"He can't jump," said Fisher despite his win. "He won that race, but I thought he was going to fall over every fence on the backside."
So Fisher entered him on the flat and won the $170,000 Maiden Special Weight at Kentucky Downs.
"He's in the field now" said Fisher. "Then when we bring him back up, we'll teach him how to jump this winter."
When The Jackal does learn how to jump, he looks like he'll be another powerhouse for Fisher and Bruton Street.
