Kentucky is known as the "Bluegrass State", a nickname based on the bluegrass found in many of its pastures due to the fertile soil. One of the major regions in Kentucky is the Bluegrass Region in central Kentucky which houses two of its major cities, Louisville and Lexington. It is a land with diverse environments and abundant resources, including the world's longest cave system, Mammoth Cave National Park, the greatest length of navigable waterways and streams in the contiguous United States, and the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River.
Kentucky (foaled 1861, died 1875), was a successful AmericanThoroughbredracehorse who won 21 of his 23 starts, including 20 consecutive wins.
He was by Lexington, who sired three colts in 1861 (out of Glencoe mares) and would each become one of the best race horses in America – Norfolk, Asteroid and Kentucky. Norfolk and Asteroid went undefeated throughout their racing careers, and one of the few horses who ever defeated Kentucky was Norfolk. Kentucky's dam was Magnolia, by the imported British champion Glencoe; Glencoe stood at John Harper's Nantura Stock Farm in Kentucky. His sire line traced back to Herod.
A rangy bay with a narrow white stripe and white off-fore pastern, Kentucky was owned by John Hunter, one of the founders of the Saratoga Race Course and co-owner (and the first chairman) of The Jockey Club.
Racing record
Probably trained by A.J. Minor (the facts are unclear), Kentucky won his only two-year-old start. At age three, racing for John Hunter, William R. Travers and George Osgood, he lost his second start in the inaugural Jersey Derby – coming in fourth to Norfolk. After that he won 20 consecutive races, including the first Travers Stakes in 1864 and the first two runnings of the Saratoga Cup at a distance of 2¼ miles. He also won the first Inaugural Stakes in four mile heats at the newly opened Jerome Park Racetrack. For three seasons (1864, 1865 and 1866), when races were two, three and four miles long, he was the undisputed champion of East Coast racing.
During the Civil War, Thad Goodwin (Charles Waldron) of Elmtree Farm, a local horse breeder resists Capt. John Dillon (Douglass Dumbrille) and a company of Union soldiers confiscating his prize horses. He is killed by Dillon and his youngest son Peter (Bobs Watson) cries at the soldiers riding away with the horses.
75 years later, in 1938, Peter (Walter Brennan) now a crotchety old man, still resides on Elmtree Farm and raises horses with his niece Sally (Loretta Young). Dillon's grandson Jack (Richard Greene) and Sally meet, her not knowing that he was a Dillon. Peter Goodwin dies when his speculation on cotton drops. The Goodwins are forced to auction off nearly all their horses and Jack offers his services to Sally, as a trainer of their last prize horse, "Bessie's Boy", who falls ill.

Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams on Keeping Elections Secure
States are taking important steps to keep local elections secure, despite ongoing attempts by the Biden administration to undermine their efforts. One of the more recent attempts involves allowing partisan third parties to act essentially as government agents and register people to vote. Michael Adams, Secretary of State in Kentucky, points out how this is a huge conflict of interest and a threat to election security.
Here, Secretary Adams discusses the importance of keeping elections secure and free from these conflicts of interest. In Kentucky, he says, they’ve shown that it’s possible to make it both easy to vote and hard to cheat. He also emphasizes how failing to secure elections can suppress voters—because if they don’t trust the process, they simply won’t show up to vote.

Sec. of State Michael Adams on Kentucky's Bipartisan Election Reforms
Secure, fair elections benefit everyone, regardless of party line. Election reform shouldn't be a partisan issue.
And in Kentucky, it isn't. Secretary of State Michael Adams discusses here the successful bipartisan reforms the state has implemented to secure elections, despite having a Republican legislature and Democrat governor.
Kentucky shows that bipartisan support of election integrity reforms is entirely possible. Learn more about reforms people on both sides of the aisle can get behind at https://thefga.org/election-integrity/.
