Tik Maynard performed a demonstration at the Ocala Jockey Club International 3
Day in November. He brought two horses, Vasiliev, owned by the Vasiliev Syndicate,
competed in the one star. Looking My Way, (barn name Mason) was featured
in his demonstration. He is owned by Penny Hallman of Merry Legs Farm in
NY. Tik won the freestyle at the 2018 Thoroughbred Makeover, held at the Kentucky
Horse Park, with Mason. He did a routine at the OJC similar to what he did
for the Thoroughbred Makeover competition. Mason stayed with him at all gaits
with no bridle and also laid down. Tik explained what horsemanship means, and
expressed it’s importance in not only riding, but interacting with a horse on the
ground. Tik’s book explaining about horsemanship, In The Middle Are The Horse-
men, is available from Trafalgar Square Books, and
Tik happily signed autographs for fans following his
demonstration.
He was undefeated as a racehorse. He’s the 2018 Triple Crown Champion.
Now, Justify is represented as the latest licensed jewelry design from Jane
Heart LLC! His image has been brought to life in handcrafted sterling silver
both on a star and winner’s circle disc with all of Jane Heart’s customary
attention to detail.

Justify
Jewelry Design Released by Jane Heart
“I was thrilled to be one of the first to visit Justify at WinStar Farm shortly after
his retirement. I was in awe of him and emotional in his presence. He was every
bit as handsome and charismatic in person as I’d hoped, and it’s my great
pleasure to bring this new design to his legions of fans,” said Jane Heart, who
has been manufacturing and marketing equestrian jewelry since 1994. “I believe
it captures his amazing presence and personality. I am grateful to Justify’s
team of owners for granting me the honor of producing licensed jewelry!”
A portion of the proceeds from sales of Justify jewelry will benefit the Permanently
Disabled Jockey’s Fund. The pendants are the newest in a succession
of unique pieces created by Jane Heart to benefit other noteworthy racehorses
and charities, such as the Secretariat Foundation (Secretariat), The Fund for
Laminitis Research (Barbaro), the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation (Man o’
War), and Old Friends (American Pharoah).
Justify burst onto the racing scene in early 2018 without having run a single
race as two-year-old. He won his maiden outing at Saratoga and didn’t look
back, sweeping through his Kentucky Derby prep races with such consummate
ease that caused racing fans and the media to take notice. The rest of
the Derby contenders proved to be no match for the big chestnut colt and he
continued to thrill the crowds with his win in the Preakness Stakes. For what
turned out to be
his final outing,
the Belmont Stakes,
Justify took the
lead from the beginning
and ran home
in front to complete
the American
Triple Crown. Thoroughbred racing fans around the world celebrated his
incredible feat, never dreaming that so soon after American Pharoah’s effort
in 2015 that they would be blessed with another Triple Crown winner. Justify
is now retired to stud at Ashford Stud farm in Lexington, KY and continues to
delight his visitors and fans.
