Previous Owner's Comments
DeeAnne says: Johnny Affidavit is sired by ARMBRO OPERATIVE, a Standardbred harness racer who won over $800,000 on the track. Armbro Operative’s brilliant 1996 campaign was capped off with victories in the Little Brown Jug, Breeders Crown and Progess Pace. Despite those credits he still lost divisional honors to arch-rival Hot Lead. This year has been a little different so far, as Armbro Operative has won just once, but it was a big one. On June 20 Armbro Operative captured the $250,000 Driscoll Final at The Meadowlands, posting a career best 1:50 effort. His last start came on July 11 in the Dan Patch Invitational at Hoosier Park where he finished second to Hot Lead. "He showed everything last year," said trainer Brett Pelling. "He has all the capabilities to be the kind of horse he is. He always seems to come through at the right moment for us. The owners were really great to let me bring him back this year at four. I really think we understand him a lot better this year, and we’re able to deal with his problems more efficiently. He’s been a great horse for us. Our goal is to put him right back in this year’s Breeders Crown." Previous Breeders Crown Starts: Won 1996 3-year-old Colt Pace at Yonkers. Armbro Operative also sold as a yearling for $175,000 at the Kentucky Standardbred Sale Co., the fifth highest priced yearling at the 1994 sales. He set track records at a variety of different tracks. Armbro Operative is the only horse in history to win Two Breeders Crowns and The Little Brown Jug. He was Australia's leading living sire in various categories on 3 occasions, is the sire of seven Victorian and New Zealand Sires Stakes champions, as well as Australaian leading 2yo sire 2004/05. He is also the sire of four individual Oaks winners. Johnny Affidavit is a striking bay Standardbred gelding who was imported from Australia. He had a short racing career not due to injury but to due to unsuitability. His dam, SPITFIRE GOLD, earned over $10,000 on the track. Johnny is an all-around show horse who competes in a
variety of disciplines very well, from show jumping to Dressage to driving and even eventing.

Brittany says: Feuville Estate recently purchased this wonderful gelding, and already he is blending in with the rest of the herd. His sweet personality and handsome looks are already winning him fans around the farm. He can always be found with his head and neck stuck out of the stall, searching for a pat or a few treats. Johnny is an amazing show horse, as his records show. He has amazing gaits, that are very eye catching. It is easy to see why the judges can't turn away! He is a nice horse to train, very willing to learn. His Sire, ARMBRO OPERATIVE, has now accumulated over one million dollars in winnings on the track,
and his get continue to win across the globe.
