racehorse Sunday Rest made his racing debut at Turf Paradise
Race Course in Phoenix, Arizona, in October 2011. Although

ran four races, placing third his second time out.
Relocated to Canada, Sunday Rest was in training

movie role, playing the famous Kentucky Derby winner Mine That
Bird in the film 50 to 1.
A natural actor, Sunday Rest quickly adapted

often stealing scenes from his human-actor co-stars. Sunday Rest’s
athleticism and broad emotional range continues to impress filmmakers
throughout the industry.
When not auditioning, Sunday Rest resides with
Lawrence in Washington State. |
