Two-Time Indiana Horse of the Year Lady Fog Horn Retired

Graded stakes winner, double Indiana Horse of the Year, and all-time leading Indiana-bred earner Lady Fog Horn has been retired. She retires sound with her final race a win. “It was a great journey with her and I’m very appreciative that Stuart (Grant) gave me the opportunity to train her.”, said Tony Granitz, Lady Fog Horn’s trainer. 

The five-year-old bay mare won seven stakes races during her career, with her most notable win coming in the Gr.II Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs during her four-year-old season. She won the Florence Henderson Stakes twice, the Frances Solcum Stakes twice, the Indiana First Lady Stakes (show above), and the Hoosier Breeders’ Sophomore Stakes. She also finished third in the Gr.II Cardinal Handicap. A turf runner, she raced at five different tracks, winning races at three of them. Lady Fog Horn was named Indiana Horse of the Year in 2015 and 2016 for her efforts. She was also named Indiana Champion Older Mare in 2016. She was unbeaten on Indiana turf.

The daughter of Zavata (out of Titia, by Northern Spur) retired with a record of 26: 14-4-4 with earnings of $824,273.

Still able to demo things for my athletes and that’s a blessing. Stay smooth, stay controlled and be light on those feet! #ITOBA #ImTiredOfBeingAverage #personaltrainer #DominateDaily #athletebynature #fitness #bounds #lateralmovement #agilitytraining https://www.instagram.com/reel/CRHH50SAnM5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Morning practice for today. Just trying to get my leg back under me but also adjust to running at this weight. It’s pretty but as I keep going and lean out the form and conditioning will come! #trackandfield #DominateOrDieFitness #ITOBA #ImTitedOfBeingAverage #SprinterLife #RunningForLove #FearTheForfeit (at Spring, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6mp1OlpVE/?igshid=1xb36ljaqgus6

Let’s talk about the last two months of this process. I have never in my entire life had to worry about losing weight or having a ‘fit’ look. So this past year was starting to get to me and I fell into a slope of comfort and saying as long as I look good enough I’m fine. Fast forward to end of 2019 and start of 2020, I started to notice a bulge at the bottom of my shirts. I knew I had to make a change when I took my shirt off in February and had no real definition to my upper body, I couldn’t fix my mind to say it out loud but I was starting to feel uncomfortable in my own skin and doubting myself as a trainer. So I developed a plan to start working out small and build from there. 2-3 days of body weight workouts a week for a month, then progress to weight training again. This is just the beginning and I’m a month into weights and things are coming along nicely. I’ll continue to pt on a little weight until I start back on the goal workouts at the track. This is a reminder to just trust the process. I wasn’t sure things were going in the right direction despite the fact of feeling and moving better I was worried about the number on the scale rising too much. Well it’s all good from looking at the numbers and it’s about to get better.

I don’t know why I decided to demo this after my workout....but I did and let’s just say SUNDAY was not as FUN but it was work that it! 4 sets of 55s of work with 15s of rest between exercises and 2 minutes once complete round is done. Workout: Superset 1 Cleans & Plyo steps . Superset 2 Jump ropes & Deadlifts . Superset 3 DB lunges & Hamstring curls . Superset 4 Leg extensions & Butt kicks . DB squat burnout . . . #DominateOrDieFitness #fitnessmotivation #Herbalife24 #FearTheForfeit #ITOBA #ImTiredOfBeingAverage #LegDay #QuickHiiter (at Spring, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbtJxyF6R8/?igshid=1sll11q79ry23

Equal Sides workout: Warmup with controlled pace on each exercise (15-30 reps) 1 minute of squats 1 minute of push-ups 1 minute of sit-ups 45 seconds of high knees or marches in place. . WORKOUT BREAKDOWN 15 minutes to work your up the rep count. Start with 2 reps of each then keep adding 2 after you complete the whole circuit for duration of time. Then take 1-3 minute break to recover. Set a second 15 minute timer, start at top with your highest rep count and try to get back down to where you started at 2 reps. Don’t take it easy on yourself going up. You want to push yourself and keep constant movement as long as you can, take quick water breaks but treat it as if your only break is the 1-3 minutes of rest at the end. EARN THAT RECOVERY TIME! Post your highest rep count and share to your story or feed and tag @dominateordiefitness Let’s see your work!

In case you thought that it was over and I stopped doing it....Still doing 1 on 1 training but this is just some band work after I finished boot camp today! Are you making the time to take care of yourself or are you just watching everyone else and saying I wish I could do that? You can but it’s going to cost you but you can’t count the cost to your success! #beproductivebehappybegreat #dominateordiefitness #imtiredofbeingaverage #bluelocs #feartheforfeit #ITOBA #MisfitEntBeat

💢FAILURE IS NECESSARY TO CHANGE!💢 Yesterday morning at the gym, post workout....I JUST WANTED TO FAIL & IMPROVE! I almost cleared a PR of 365 lbs & that’s without doing any major lifting or heavy dead’s. Not saying that it’s not helpful to do but it doesn’t have to be often. Train the body properly and it will change you. #ITOBA #DominateOrDieFitness #FearTheForfeit #CGstrong #ImTiredOfBeingAverage (at 24 Hour Fitness - Houston, TX)
