Yo tambien

Yo Tambien was America's Queen of the Turf of the gay '90s. The bright chestnut filly came blazing out of California as a two year old, and stomped the competition in the midwest and east for four seasons, chalking up 44 wins in 73 career starts, unplaced only nine times. A product of a cross between the brilliantly fast California-bred Joe Hooker and the great broodmare Marian, she was the winningest, longest racing, and most adored of all her dam's outstanding children, and the best offspring of her sire.

She was bred by Theodore Winters, the owner of Lexington's great son, Norfolk, and breeder of the brilliant Emperor of Norfolk, who was half-brother to Yo Tambien. Winters, James Ben Ali Haggin, and Lucky Baldwin, were the most influential of extremely successful late nineteenth century California breeders whose efforts brought the state into national prominence in the racing world, only to subside after the turn of the century with the crippling blow of anti-betting legislation that sent the west coast breeding and racing industry into a tailspin.
