Florida-bred Hades Enters NTRA Top 10 Poll

EDITED NTRA PRESS RELEASE

Undefeated Florida-bred Hades turned back Eclipse Award-winning champion Fierceness and five others to take the G3 Holy Bull Stakes on Feb. 3 at Gulfstream Park. The performance secured the gelding’s No. 5 ranking in the National Thoroughbred Racing Association’s poll of top three-year-olds this week. The poll is a leading indicator of horses to watch for the G1 Kentucky Derby. Undefeated Nysos jumped into the No. 1 spot.

A love for horses is something, it seems, many people are innately born with. And for some, that love is fueled by watching a parent work with these incredible athletes.



“As far back as I can remember, as a little boy riding with my mom when we were taking my father to work at a training center called Maryland Farm in the town of Brentwood, Tennessee, I remember always loving horses,” said Ronald Jackson Sr.
