her Fair attendant, Patricia Robinson
CHILLY JILLY IS THE WINNER!
Sacramento, California - California State Fair
in Sacramento was the site of the Name the Baby Mule & Win
Contest. Entering the contest was free and the contestant with
the winning name is entitled to 10% of that mule’s earnings at
all California racetracks in 2011 up to $10,000. One name a day
was chosen out of all submitted over a nine day period.
Congratulations goes out to Jill Vaught of Sacramento for
naming Chilly Jilly. Jill’s name was one of 2,500 names submitted
to the American Mule Racing Association as a choice. The racing
crowd on July 25 chose Chilly Jilly as the winning name. Good
luck to Jill and Chilly Jilly in 2011.
Congratulations, to Patricia Robinson for being
accepted into the United States Air Force. Best of Luck from all
of us at the American Mule Racing Association!
