Genuine
Reward Retires to Old Friends

Old Friends website
In
1980 Genuine Risk became the second filly to win the Kentucky
Derby. She ran 2nd in both the Preakness and the Belmont, and
won the 1980 Ruffian Stakes (G1). Her impressive career of 10
wins in 15 races in which she never finished less than 3rd was
recognized by induction into the Racing Hall of Fame in 1986.
But as a broodmare the champion attracted fans outside racing
when her reproductive difficulties endeared her to women
experiencing similar challenges. Genuine Risk had only two
foals who lived. The first was given the appropriate name
Genuine Reward. Also a son of the great sire Rahy, Genuine
Reward raised hopes of achievements on the track and went into
the barn of his dam’s former trainer, Leroy Jolley, but
the chestnut colt just did not make a racehorse. He never
started in a race. At four years old he went to stud at Blue
Ridge Farm in Virginia and sired some winners, but it was as a
sire of polo ponies in Wyoming that he found a successful
career. He retired and was relocated to Old Friends in 2015.
In looks a smaller replica of his mom, Genuine Reward is
intelligent, friendly and loved by all.
