Sure, another day another great IC filly, but what makes this race really remarkable is that the track record setting winner was ridden by a jockey with a Jewish Name. David Cohen.
Is this the first time ever that a track record was set with a Jewish jockey riding?

Nope, it's not the first time. Walter Blum set an Aqueduct track record while riding Gun Bow in the 1964 Brooklyn Hdcp. (Thank you, Google!)
