Hillary Simpson
continues to make news with her Thor-
oughbred, Arkansas. After placing sixth in the $100,000 Wood-
lea Farms Grand Prix at the
I Love New York Horse Show
in
Lake Placid and then riding him to the win in the $30,000 Mount
Equinox Grand Prix at
the Vermont Summer Festival

appeared with him at the Retired Racehorse Training Project’s
Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium at Pimlico
Racecourse in early October. Hilary has high hopes for Arkansas
and is a big believer in Thoroughbreds in general. “As long as you
give Thoroughbreds what they need and let them do their own
thing and bring them along at their pace, they will always give you
everything they can,” she said. Amen to that!
