Check Me Out, the 2011 Two-Year-Old Filly Trotter of the Year and the 2012 Three-Year-Old Filly Trotter of the Year in both Canada and the U.S., had her first foal on Sunday, March 8.
Owned by Steve Jones and Ray Schnittker, Check Me Out's first foal was a filly by Credit Winner. As announced last week, she's been booked to Hambletonian winner Trixton for 2015.
Check Me Out finished her three-year-old campaign in 2012 with the most earnings ever by a filly trotter over her freshman and sophomore seasons. She retired with lifetime earnings of just over $1.9 million.
After her three-year-old season, the Ray Schnittker trainee was the world record holder in three different categories -- two-year-old on a five-eighths mile track (1:53.2f), three-year-old over a mile track (1:51.2) and three-year-old over a five-eighths mile track (1:51.3f).
