Warm Spell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warm Spell (1988-1994) was an American Eclipse Award winning thoroughbred racehorse, a Kentucky-bred son of Northern Baby, owned and trained by John K. Griggs and bred by Robert Kluener. He was ridden primarily by the owner/trainer's son, J. Kirk Griggs, Jr.
In 1994 Warm Spell won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Steeplechase horse, and his career ended with him as the Number 2 all-time leading American steeplechase earner. He was over $120,000 ahead of Lonesome Glory, with the two having split decisions in their head-to-head meetings.
Warm Spell died in 1994 and was buried in Camden, South Carolina on the Springdale Race Course, site of the NSA G-1 Colonial Cup.
