Other leading owners include WinStar Farm, Zabeel Stable and Rabbah Bloodstock, the latter two headed by members of Sheikh Mohammed's family. ... Harty met Bill and Susan Casner of WinStar Farm in Dubai when he accompanied Silver Charm there. Casner is a big proponent of synthetic surfaces, so in July 2007, as Southern California’s major tracks were installing synthetic surfaces, he sent three horses by Tiznow to Harty – Colonel John, Well Armed, and Tiz Now Tiz Then, all of whom became major stakes winners. Colonel John went on to win the 2008 G1 Santa Anita Derby and Travers Stakes, while Well Armed won a pair of Grade 2 events, the San Diego Handicap and San Antonio Handicap. One day after Colonel John won the Travers by a slim nose, Well Armed lost the G1 Pacific Classic in another close photo, by a neck ...
