Welcome to another edition of the Legends Race! This time around we have 10 fillies going a mile and a quarter in the Alabama!
In Post One: 1999 winner, multiple Eclipse winning champion and Hall of Famer Silverbulletday, she's ridden today by Jerry Bailey.
In Post Two: 2006 winner and one of my personal favorites Pine Island who is ridden by Javier Castallano.
In Post Three: Her daughter won this race as well in 1993, and she won this in 1988, it's Maplejinsky!
She's ridden by Angel Cordero.
In Post Four: Her little brother won the Travers and was the arch rival of Affirmed it's 1977 winner Our Mims, ridden by Jorge Velasquez.
In Post Five: Little brother just won the Preakness this year and ran a fantastic race in the Haskell, it's 2007 winner Lady Joanne with Calvin "Bo-Rail" Borel in the irons.
In Post Six: She had a Roman nose, multiple champion and is a Hall of Famer, 1967 winner Gamely with Bill Shoemaker.
In Post Seven: She hails from the great Christiana Stable, multiple Eclipse Champion and Hall of Famer. It's 1989 winner Go For Wand and Randy Romero.
In Post Eight: One of two horses that I've actually had the honor to see in person in this race. She reeled her Delaware Oaks win into this race to hold off Music Note, on her way to Championship honors it's 2008 winner Proud Spell and Gabrial Saez.
In Post Nine: She won the very first Alabama back in 1872. Her owner would be have a track named after him and she shares a name with a Canadian track. It's Woodbine ridden by C. Gradwell.
Last, but not least.
In Post Ten: She is well on her way to a Hall of Fame career, and the other horse that I've had the honor of seeing in person. Part of possibly the greatest female rivalry with Havre de Grace, it's 2010 winner Blind Luck and her jockey, Joel Rosario.
That's the field for the Alabama Legends race! The call of the race will be tomorrow.
So whose your pick? Post below!
That's really fun! Wish you could post PPs . . .
