THE NAME'S JIMMY
Encino - Dancing at Dawn, by Grey Dawn | 1989 Horse -
( View Pedigree)
Easily won the $300,000 American Derby on the turf at Arlington Park in 1992
Racing for Brian Burns' Mount Joy Stables, The Name's Jimmy was named after Burns' father, who had dreamed of a racing stable but died before he could realize that dream. A winner at first asking on the dirt at the age of 2, The Name's Jimmy really hit his stride at 3 when he tried the grass. After a sharp 2nd in the La Puente at Santa Anita, he won the Will Rogers H at Hollywood Park, and his brightest effort came when he easily won the $300,000 American Derby (G2) on the turf at Arlington Park in 1992. Due to injuries, Jimmy was never able to top that performance, but he raced strongly as a 4 and 5 year old, including a 2nd in the Fort Harrod S (G3) at Keeneland in 1994.
At stud in Florida, The Name's Jimmy sired 70% runners and 46% winners, a useful stallion career, through the late 1990s and early 2000s. On retirement, Jimmy was donated to Old Friends through the generosity of Brian Burns. Jimmy especially enjoys apples and sharing his very decided opinions with all, horse and human alike.
