A magical time with Miki And Minnie
When female pacer That’s The Ticket was retired seven years ago because of an injury, owner Craig Henderson thought he would sell the 2016 Three Diamonds Stakes winner. That was until he received input from the filly’s trainer, Chris Ryder. “He told me not to sell her,” Henderson recalled. “He said she was going to have a great foal someday. He literally talked me into keeping That’s The Ticket. Her first two foals were fine; they both made over $100,000. But then along comes Miki And Minnie and it’s been phenomenal.” On Friday afternoon, she will compete in the first of two $25,000 eliminations of the Breeders Crown for 2-year-old female pacers at The Meadowlands.
