Description:
Horses owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey won 11 races at Keeneland's 15-day spring meet as they finished as leading owners at a Keeneland meet for a record 15th time when the spring meet concluded April 24.
Last year the Ramseys tied with T.A. Grissom, who earned 14 leading owner titles between 1954-1977, recording titles singly and in partnership with J.E. Grissom.
The Ramseys have won or shared seven spring meet leading owner titles (2004, 2006, 2010-2013, 2015) and eight fall meet titles (2000, 2002, 2007-09, 2012-14). The couple received Eclipse Awards as outstanding owner and breeder in 2013 and 2014 and as outstanding owner in 2004 and 2011.
Javier Castellano clinched his first Keeneland leading rider title, winning 21 races.
"I'm very blessed," Castellano said. "The Keeneland meet is very prestigious and I'm very lucky to ride good horses and have a lot of support from Mr. (Ken) Ramsey and a lot of owners, and top trainers Todd Pletcher, Chad Brown, and Shug McGaughey, Mike Maker and everyone. I've been on a lot of good horses. I've been very lucky and fortunate."
Todd Pletcher finished as leading trainer by wins, with 10; and earnings, with $1,403,643.
