Zenyatta may have gotten most of the press, but my eyes were on Shared Account at the 2010 Breeders’ Cup. I didn’t have the pleasure of attending this year’s event, but I was thrilled to watch (thanks to ABC and, later, YouTube) Shared Account’s win of theĀ $2 Million Emirates Airline Filly & Mare Turf at Churchill Downs. It was only three years ago that Kevin Plank, owner and CEO of UnderArmour, purchased the historic Sagamore Farm in Glyndon, Md. with the intent to revitalize the racing industry in Maryland.

As Blackburn Architects headed the architectural renovations that took place at Sagamore, I can only hope that Shared Account and her fellow horses are safe and comfortable in their stables in between races. With the hardworking and talented staff at Sagamore, I’m not surprised in the least that the great ambitions of Kevin Plank are quickly coming true before their eyes (and the eyes of thousands of spectators at the Breeder’s Cup!).

Congratulations to Shared Account, her trainer Graham Motion, and everyone at Sagamore Farm. I look forward to watching your continued success in the years to come.
