The Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (ITOBA) has honored
Piedi Bianchi (Overanalyze) as Indiana s 2020 Horse of the Year. The 6-year-old Indiana-bred mare is a multiple black-type winner and has raced from coast to coast, placing in six graded events, including the GI Del Mar Debutante S, the GI Chandelier S., and the GI Starlet S. She was most recently runner-up in the GIII Intercontinental S. at Belmont June 3.
“We hope to get her back to where we started in November at Del Mar (for the upcoming Breeders Cup),” said co-owner Jay Oringer. “Her career is winding down, but we hope she has a few more good races in her. Once she is done racing, she will be a broodmare and we are thinking Tapit.”

Each year, members of the Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (ITOBA) honor the state s top performers with a spring banquet. Due to restrictions associated with COVID-19, the banquet was canceled the past two seasons, but the state is still honoring the top performers of 2020 during the 2021 season at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino.
Top performers in each division are highlighted daily on the simulcast production, and to honor two of the state s top awards, a special presentation was made Tuesday, June 8 for the ITOBA/Indiana Breed Development Breeder of the Year and the 2020 Champion Indiana Horse of the Year. Top breeding honors were awarded to Deann Baer and Greg Baer, DVM, breeders on the Champion Horse of 2020 Piedi Bianchi.
