1987 Idle Dice   Sired by Hayhook and foaled in Oklahoma in 1962, Idle Dice won over $400,000 in his show jumping career, which by today's standards could be triple that amount. Originally a failure on the race track, he was campaigned as a hunter by Bernie Traurig and later purchased by Harry Gill. Idle Dice was ridden in the show ring by many riders including Terry Rudd, Michael Hunter, Steve Stephens, and Buddy Brown, but his greatest accomplishments were with Rodney Jenkins. Among Idle Dice's 31 grandprix victories, he captured the American Gold Cup three times, the American Invitational, the Grandsprix of New York, Florida, Upperville, Ox Ridge, Detroit, Cleveland, and he was the only horse to win the President's Cup at the Washington International Horse Show twice. In addition, Idle Dice was the 1977 Grandprix Horse of the Year and represented the USET for five years, including competing at the World Championships in Europe in 1974. In his final full season, Idle Dice won the grandsprix in Lake Placid, and South Hampton, New York. Named a "champion jumper" by the FEI at the age of 21, he also won three grandsprix at the age of 21. Idle Dice was formally retired in 1986 at the American Gold Cup and retired to Harry Gill's Pennsylvania farm.
