Bonnie usually took the winters off and came back every year to Barn 10 with her hard work and mischievous smile and laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Under Jenne\u2019s care, Ladyledue won six stakes and honors as track and state champion filly of 2008, and track and state champion 3-year-old filly of 2009. Another top horse was Couldabenthewhisky, a triple stakes winner at Emerald Downs including the Gottstein Futurity and honored as both Emerald Downs\u2019 and Washington champion 2-year-old colt or gelding of 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Other stakes winners trained by Jenne included: Mr. Makah, winner of the 2005 Budweiser Emerald Handicap and third in the 2004 Longacres Mile, Naab the Win, Colony Lane, Makah Lane, and Itsallabouttheride.<\/p>\n<p>Jenne\u2019s final stakes victories were in 2024 with He\u2019s Not Talking in the Washington Cup Juvenile Colt &amp; Gelding and Dynamic Secret in the Emerald Derby. Sporting the familiar yellow and green silks that date back to the 1960s, Dynamic Secret romped by 2 3\/4 lengths and subsequently took honors as Emerald Downs\u2019 champion 3-year-old colt or gelding.<\/p>\n<p>Born Dec. 30, 1948, Bonnie Jenne grew up in a house across the street from Yakima Meadows, where her father Ed Lewis won training titles in 1977 and 78.<\/p>\n<p>Bonnie\u2019s beloved husband, Wally, a former track superintendent, preceded her in death in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/paulickreport.com\/news\/people\/longtime-washington-trainer-bonnie-jenne-dies-at-76\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Paulick Report;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Paulick Report<\/a> on Jun 27, 2025, where it first appeared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Longtime Washington Trainer Bonnie Jenne Dies At 76 originally appeared on Paulick Report.
