Win in the mud
Split the Bill breaks his maiden at Cal Expo on November 2, 2006 (a great night if you like to play in the mud)
This is his first 2008 win at Cal-Expo - he is kind of hidden at the finish on this one.
1st in 2008
2007 win
The first of two in a row at Cal Expo in August 2007- quite a difference!
Here we are again the following week with that 2nd in a row.  The good news is that we won, the bad news is that we had to move a long way up in class - very tough.
2nd in 2007
First 2010 win
Here is the big boy with his first 2010 win.  He went off a long shot - so he got a pretty nice write up.  Click here to take a look.

First 2011 win

Well, we finally got our first win of the year 2011  on February 10th. Split the Bill really beat the odds and came home with a great win.  It made the United States Trotting Association news - click here to read all about it, To watch a replay of the video click on the arrow of the video below.  For full screen, double click on the picture.

 


R & R at the farm
On April 1st, 2011, Bill was returned to the farm for a little R & R and some time to let a suspensory injury heal.  Lots like he is really enjoying himself in his lush paddock.
Umm good

We decided to retire our "boy" from racing and on July 28th, 2011 he was placed in his new home in Angels Camp California. We hope he will enjoy his new life as a carriage or trail horse. --- He will be missed - he was a very special horse to us ---
