Lessons In Awesomeness: With Johnny Bench
February 28th, 2008 by NextRound
To commemorate the 37th running of the Lane’s Ends Stakes in the Greater Cincinnati area, Maker’s Mark is producing 3,000 limited edition bottles featuring Johnny Bench on the label. And seeing that number 7 on our Top Ten Things to Accomplish in Life list is “Having our likeness featured on the label of a prominent brand of whiskey” we have tremendous admiration for what Johnny has accomplished here.
Proceeds are supposed to go to some scholarship fund for sick kids or something, but we didn’t really read that far because we got side-tracked on the race itself and whether we could somehow get Palace in the running. We have high hopes for our equestrian endeavors in ‘08.
