becomes first millionaire horse from Augusta County

VALUE PLUS stands in British Columbia at Strideaway Thoroughbreds in Armstrong.

by Nick Hahn - Special to The News Leader

Robert Powell has bred Augusta County’s newest millionaire, a seven-year old thoroughbred horse that has traveled the long way from Churchville to Churchill Downs.

After coming out last out of the gate in a field of six, Long On Value, ridden by jockey Florent Geroux, won the $70,000 Mighty Beau Overnight Stakes at Churchill Downs June 2.

By adding a little over $40,000 to his earnings sheet, Long On Value is believed to now be the first millionaire thoroughbred to be bred in Augusta County.

The accomplishment is remarkable in a county that hasn’t seen a significant thoroughbred interest in over a generation and where hoof heritage lies with cattle that outnumber horses 10 to one.
