Bourbon Betty Breaks Maiden at Aqueduct

Bourbon Betty made a strong statement in her turf debut, breaking her maiden in impressive fashion in a Maiden Special Weight at Aqueduct last week on April 16th.

The 3-year-old filly went straight to the front and never looked back. She showed determination down the stretch, steadily extending her advantage to win by a comfortable margin. After a challenging first start over a sloppy dirt track at Gulfstream, she bounced back with confidence and proved she was ready to roll on the grass.

Bourbon Betty is part of our 2025 U.S. Two-Year-Old Partnership and was purchased for $90,000 at last spring’s OBS March Sale. By Mendelssohn, she hails from a successful turf family, and we’re excited to see what the rest of the summer holds for her.

Congratulations to our partners Bourbon Lane Stable, David Hampson, and Old Guys Rules Racing Stables on the victory. Wins like this are what partnership racing is all about. If you’re interested in joining our Bourbon Lane Partnerships, we’d love to connect and help you get involved with future runners.

A special thank you to trainer Mark Hennig and his team, along with jockey Jose Lezcano, for guiding Bourbon Betty to the winner’s circle.
