Racing in The United States
Following her success in Dubai, in April 2003 Ipi Tombe was shipped to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky where her race conditioning was taken over by Elliott Walden. Ridden by Pat Day in her American debut, Ipi Tombe won the Grade III Locust Grove Handicap at Churchill Downs, making her the first horse bred in Zimbabwe to ever win at the historic Churchill Downs track.
A training injury that never healed properly resulted in Ipi Tombe being retired on 22 November 2003 and sent to the renowned Coolmore Stud in Ireland for broodmare duty. In foal to the Champion sire, Sadler's Wells, she was sold at a Tattersalls auction in England in November 2004 for £850,000 to Americans Richard Santulli and Barry Weisbord. On 25 February 2005 she gave birth to a colt that was named Monastic Springs. She had her second foal, Pin Turn, a filly by Pivotal, on 1 May 2006. Sent to Denali Stud in Paris, Kentucky, she slipped a filly by Giant's Causeway in late 2008, but produced a healthy colt, Go For Two, by him on 9 February 2009. In 2010, she produced a phenomonal filly by Medaglia d'Oro who has been named Hug Doc. She delivered a Medaglia d'Oro colt in June 2011, but did not catch on a late June cover. She was bred back to MDO in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words united states, racing, united and/or states:
“The United States is the only great nation whose government is operated without a budget. The fact is to be the more striking when it is considered that budgets and budget procedures are the outgrowth of democratic doctrines and have an important part in developing the modern constitutional rights.... The constitutional purpose of a budget is to make government responsive to public opinion and responsible for its acts.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

“Since the Civil War its six states have produced fewer political ideas, as political ideas run in the Republic, than any average county in Kansas or Nebraska.”
