That's how it began, a
pharmaceutical executive
with only a passing interest
in racing and little knowl-
edge of the sport walk-
ing across the street to
the Fasig-Tipton sales
grounds in 2015 and
purchasing a $255,000
New York-bred filly
on a whim. The filly,
Lucky Bug (Lookin At
Lucky) has run just
once and has earned
all of $275. But it
seems that's the
last time Bob Ed-
wards bought an
underperform-
ing horse.
Less than a
year after buying Lucky Bug, e Five had
its first winner and it came in a stakes
race with Zindaya (More Than Ready)
winning the 2016 Intercontinental at
Belmont. Three months later they had
a Breeders' Cup winner as New Mon-
ey Honey (Medaglia d'Oro) won the
GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Filly Turf.
Fast forward another year to 2017 and
e Five had two more Breeders' Cup
wins, the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile
with Good Magic (Curlin), who is co-
owned by Stonestreet Stables, and the
GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies with
Rushing Fall (More Than Ready). And
when Good Magic was named 2017's
top two-year-old at the Eclipse Awards
last month, they had their first cham-
pion.
"We know it's not supposed to hap-
pen this way," said Edwards's wife,
NEW MONEY HONEY
after winning the Breeders' Cup
Juvenile Fillies Turf
