New Face At The Hall of Champions


Kona Gold will join two-time Horse of the Year Cigar and two-time Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) winner Da Hoss as the newest resident in the Hall of Champions in the Kentucky Horse Park. The 13 year old gelding won the Breeder's Cup Sprint in 2000 and ran in 5 consecutive Breeder's Cups, earning 2.3 million in his career. He is currently the much loved stable pony in his old trainer, Bruce Headly's barn. The opening for Kona Gold came from the unfortunate death of long time resident, John Henry.
