Racing Background: Veteran trainer has been conditioning Thoroughbreds since the early 1970s … Second-generation trainer whose father Joseph was a Chicago-based horseman ... Went into semi-retirement in 2001 for approximately seven months to be with his wife Cinda, who was diagnosed with cancer
Racing Career: Hough dominated the south Florida scene in the mid-1970s, winning every training title for Calder or Tropical-at-Calder meeting from 1976-80 … Best known for training 1982 Japan Cup winner Half Iced, who defeated John Henry and All Along in that international showcase … Has bounced back and forth between New York and Florida for more than two decades … Trainer of such top performers as You and I, Distinct Habit, Proud Appeal and Caller I.D. … You and I was a dominant middle-distance runner in 1995, winning the Metropolitan Mile and Brooklyn handicaps … Proud Appeal won the 1981 Blue Grass Stakes and Gotham Stakes …Caller I.D. captured three stakes as a juvenile in 1991 – the Arlington-Washington Futurity, Saratoga Special and Sanford Stakes … Took over the training of top turf runner Request for Parole during the 2004 season and won the United Nations at Monmouth with him before saddling the millionaire to a sixth-place finish in the 2004 Breeders' Cup Turf at Lone Star … Hough trains approximately 24 horses for his main client, Joyce Robsham, who will have a horse for the first time in the Breeders’ Cup when Kelso winner Trippi’s Storm starts in the Mile … Hough’s association with Robsham dates back many years. Hough trained for Robsham’s husband, Paul, until his death in 2004. After her husband’s passing, Mrs. Robsham decided to continue the racing and breeding operation under the name, E. Paul Robsham Stables LLC … Joyce sold Discreet Cat privately to Godolphin Stable for an undisclosed price in 2005 after the colt easily won a maiden race at Saratoga on Travers day for Hough … Hough said he is very excited to be bringing a Robsham homebred to the Breeders’ Cup this year. “She is the best person to work for and is a wonderful person,” Hough said. “It’s been great for us to continue the stable after Mr. Robsham’s death. It was a very tough time for Mrs. Robsham because they had been married over 50 years. They were always partners in racing; she has always loved racing. It helped her adjust to her loss when she stayed in the game. We downsized the broodmare operation, but still have kept some mares. We have gone to the sales to replenish what we lost.” … Hough said Trippi’s Storm has come a long way since running in claiming races earlier in the year. “He used to be a very difficult horse in the gate as a young horse. I thought he would be a refuser and we even ran him cheap. When we switched him to the grass, he really handled that well.”
