Member of the Month
John Gunther
John Gunther hit it big time on March 28, 2015 when two horses he bred won graded/group races on two sides of the world. “It was a big day for sure. I couldn’t believe it,” Gunther mused.
Alto Racing, LLC’s undefeated Materiality captured the Florida Derby (gr. I) at Gulfstream Park, vaulting himself into Kentucky Derby (gr. I) contention. Part two took place at Dubai’s Meydan when Gunther-bred Tamarkuz gutted out a nose victory in the Godolphin Mile (UAE-II) for owner Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al-Maktoum.
