Lamb Chop (horse)
Lamb Chop (1960–1964) was an American Thoroughbred Champion racehorse. Bred by Bull Hancock's renowned Claiborne Farm, she was sired by Bold Ruler, an eight-time leading sire in North America and grandson of Nearco. Her dam, Sheepsfoot, was a daughter of the 1943 U.S. Triple Crown champion Count Fleet.
Purchased by prominent horseman William Haggin Perry, at age three, Lamb Chop won almost every major American graded stakes race for fillies in her age group, and was voted the 1963 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly. Among her wins were races from six furlongs to one and a quarter miles, which included a new Garden State Park track record for one-and-a-sixteenth miles on dirt in winning the Jersey Belle Stakes.
In 1964, Lamb Chop took on her male counterparts in the San Fernando Stakes and finished second to the future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Gun Bow. She went up against Gun Bow and other males again in the 1964 Strub Stakes at Santa Anita Park, but broke down during the race and had to be euthanized. She was buried in the Santa Anita infield. In 1970, Quicken Tree was buried next to her.
Lamb chop
Lamb chop or Lambchop may refer to:
Meat chop
A meat chop is a cut of meat cut perpendicularly to the spine, and usually containing a rib or riblet part of a vertebra and served as an individual portion. The most common kinds of meat chops are pork and lamb. A thin boneless chop, or one with only the rib bone, may be called a cutlet, though the difference is not always clear. The term "chop" is not usually used for beef, but a T-bone steak is essentially a loin chop, and a rib steak a rib chop.
Butchery
Chops are generally cut from pork, lamb, veal, or mutton, but also from game such as venison. They are cut perpendicular to the spine, and usually include a rib and a section of spine. They are typically cut from 10–50 mm thick.
In United States markets, pork chops are classified as "center-cut" or "shoulder". Lamb chops are classified as shoulder, blade, rib, loin or kidney, and leg or sirloin chops. The rib chops are narrower, fattier, and tastier, while the loin chops are broader and leaner. Lamb chops are sometimes cut with an attached piece of kidney.
Lamb Chop (puppet)
Lamb Chop is a sock puppet sheep created by late comedian and ventriloquist Shari Lewis. In 1957 the character, a female lamb, first appeared with Lewis on Hi Mom, a local morning show that aired on WNBC in New York.
Creation
Lamb Chop has been described as a "6-year-old girl, very intuitive and very feisty, a combination of obstinacy and vulnerability...you know how they say fools rush in where wise men fear to go? Well, Lamb Chop would rush in, then scream for help." Lamb Chop, in all her shows, had referred to her close friend, a girl named Lolly Pincus.
From 1960 to 1963, Shari Lewis had her own musical-comedy network television show called The Shari Lewis Show. After children's programming turned to animation, she continued to perform in a wide range of venues. In 1992, Lamb Chop and Shari began their own PBS children's show, Lamb Chop's Play-Along, an Emmy Award winner for five consecutive years. The show lasted approximately 25 minutes per episode. On PBS, it premiered September 10, 1992 and was last shown on January 1, 1997. It has been shown on Qubo since then.
