 Esposa was the most accomplished mare in the history of racing at Saratoga. As a 2-year-old, she was 3rd in the Hopeful, only one other filly since has had a top 3 finish in the Hopeful. As a 3-year-old, she was 2nd in the Whitney. No 3yo filly since has ever had a top 3 finish in the Whitney. As a 4-year-old, she won the Merchants Handicap at Saratoga over the great Hall of Famer Discovery and that years Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Count Arthur. And she was 2nd in the Whitney. As a 5-year-old -- she was unbelievable at Saratoga:  As a 6-year-old -- she made an incredible six starts over the 4-week meet ... and hooked a super older male in War Admiral ...  Esposa campaigned brutally hard at Saratoga every season and had many great wins. Not only did she win the Whitney Handicap ... but she was 1st or 2nd in it for FOUR straight years.
