Spinning Colors Begins Her Next Chapter

It was a bittersweet moment for the McMahon & Hill team as stakes winner Spinning Colors sold for $170,000 at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, closing a special chapter for a mare whose story extends far beyond the racetrack.

The 5-year-old daughter of Hard Spun was bred and originally raced by longtime McMahon & Hill clients Bill Parsons and David Howe. Bill was a passionate horseman and a true student of the game, dedicating countless hours to researching pedigrees and carefully planning each mating.

Following Bill's unexpected passing, a group including Bourbon Lane partners David and Joanne Hampson, Judy Hartman, Jared Henry, and trainer Mark Hennig came together to continue what he had started.

Spinning Colors went on to reward that commitment with an accomplished racing career, becoming a stakes winner with five victories, four seconds, and three thirds from 27 starts, earning $476,520.

Her success represents more than an impressive racing record. For everyone involved, Spinning Colors carries a special connection to Bill and the passion he brought to breeding and racing Thoroughbreds.

McMahon & Hill extends its best wishes to Keystone Bloodstock, her new connections, as Spinning Colors begins her next chapter as a broodmare. We look forward to following her continued success and the legacy she will carry forward.
