Breeders’ Cup Presents Connections: Two Mighty Hearts Beat As One In Queen’s Plate

Mighty Heart, a horse, lost his left eye in a paddock accident at two weeks of age. He didn't race until he was 3. It took several months to find the abscess. After it was removed, he broke his maiden at Woodbine. The horse won the Queen's Plate. Cordes wanted to bring his cat, Floyd, with him, but COVID-19 restrictions meant it couldn't come. Floyd will have a forever home with Corde and Rutschmann.   . . .. For more information on the horse's racing career, visit www.josiecarroll.com.

A bit of a rascal, he tugs at his groom's mask and then steals the comb out of her back pocket when the opportunity arises. The dark bay colt is the top…
