Reword this: Standing 8.5” wide by 13” tall, the trophy includes a large green marble base that stretches four inches high and eight inches wide. A sculptured, nine-inch tall prancing horse made of solid bronze is featured on top and is called an ecorche, which means it illustrates the muscles of the powerful horse in great detail. Both sides of the marble base feature engraved gold plaques reflecting important race and horse information. The first plaque reads: “EUGENE V. KLEIN’S IS IT TRUE, Raja Baba-Roman Rockette by Proudest Roman – WINNER – FIFTH RUNNING, BREEDERS’ CUP JUVENILE, CHURCHILL DOWNS, November 5, 1988.” The second plaque, which appears on the opposite side, reads: “IS IT TRUE Bay Colt – 1986 Bred By: Warner L. Jones, Jr., Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas, Jockey: Laffit Pincay, Jr.” The trophy weighs a sturdy 19 pounds.
