KETTLE WON created quite a stir in his 2-year-old debut during the 1998 Saratoga meet as the Todd Pletcher-trainee blew away the opposition with a ten and a half-length romp in maiden special company. He has since competed successfully on dirt and turf, going short and long, and fiinished second in the Fort Lauderdale Handicap-G3 over Gulfstream Park's turf course in March of 2000. A half-brother to the durable allowance horse GLIDE HOME, KETTLE WON is out of championSAFELY KEPT's half-sister SAFE AT THE PLATE, a stakes-placed winner of $114,923.

DISTINGUISHED BID was foaled in Maryland but travelled far and wide. Eventually owned by Yuliya and Dr. Kendall Hansen, the son of Baederwood landed in the barn of Art Zeis at Ellis Park. Fate would be on DISTINGUISHED BID's side when he was sent by his owners to California in the summer of 1995 with trainer Jenine Sahadi, keeping him from danger when Zeis's barn burned to the ground that July. DISTINGUISHED BID returned to Zeis's care and lifted everyone's spirits by capturing the Indy Mile Stakes, one of the first added-money events offered at Hoosier Park. He would go on to win or place in half of his 40 lifetime starts, earning $106,645.
