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.
