A gift paying homage to two of the members of the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum will soon be on display at the facility, thanks to a generous donation. Trophies won by William Haggin Perry's Lamb Chop and Gamely will be presented by his widow, Nicky Perry, to the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum in a ceremony on May 31 at 2 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

The trophies that are being donated to the Hall of Fame are the Coaching Club American Oaks and Monmouth Oaks trophies won by Lamb Chop in 1963, and the trophies won by Gamely in the 7-furlong 1967 Test Stakes; the 1967 Alabama Stakes and the 1968 Beldame Stakes.

Lamb Chop also won the 1963 Spinster Stakes and the 1963 1 1/16-mile Jersey Belle Stakes by 12 lengths, establishing a new track record by covering the distance in 1:41 3/5. She was conditioned by National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame inductee James W. Maloney. The ill-fated filly broke down during the running of the 1964 Strub Stakes.

In addition to winning the Test and Alabama during her sophomore campaign, Gamely won the Princess Stakes. At age 4, she captured the Beldame, Santa Margarita Handicap and the Vanity Handicap. The bay daughter of Bold Ruler won the Beldame as a 5-year-old.

Both Lamb Chop and Gamely were enshrined in the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum on March 18, 1979. Gamely, who was also conditioned by Maloney, has also been enshrined in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

Perry, who owned Waterford Farm in Middleburg, Va., was an honorary director of the Breeders' Cup Ltd., campaigned a number of outstanding horses including Gamely, who was the Outstanding 3-year-old Filly in 1968; Lamb Chop, the Outstanding 3-year-old Filly in 1963; and Revidere, who was the Eclipse Award-winning 3-year-old filly of 1976.

Other prominent horses campaigned by Perry include Coastal, who won the 1979 Belmont Stakes; Princessnesian, who won the 1968 Hollywood Gold Cup and the 1969 Santa Margarita Handicap; Scan, who won the 1990 Cowdin and Remsen; and Tiller, who captured the 1978 Bowling Green Handicap, the 1979 San Juan Capistrano Handicap and the 1980 Sword Dancer.
