Jerry Bailey sets another record

The Demoiselle

Starlight Stable's Ashado registered her third stakes win as a juvenile filly by gaining a hard fought win in a battle with Emory Hamilton's La Reina. Ashado registered stakes wins in the Schuylerville and Spinaway at Saratoga before a third place in The Frizette at Belmont and a second place finish in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Both fillies showed a lot of heart in a memorable stretch duel with Ashado getting the nod at the line.

The Remsen

With the win in the Demoiselle Jerry Bailey tied Mike Smith's record for stakes wins in a year. Guiding Read The Footnotes to a win in The Remsen made the record Jerry's and he gave an uncharacteristic pump as he crossed the line. Read The Footnotes, a New York Bred out of Smoke Glacken, is already drawing comparisons with Funny Cide. 

The Cigar Mile

Three in a row for Bailey. Two in a row for Congaree. Stonerside Stable's Congaree showed he is still one of the best older horses in training by notching his second Cigar Mile victory. With wins in the past two Cigar Mile runnings, a victory in The Carter Handicap in the spring, and a win  in The Wood Memorial as a three-year-old Congaree seems to have found a home at Aqueduct . At last report his owners plan on bringing him back next year.
