After losing the What a Summer, Heavenly Prize would go on to lose the Prioress to what horse? She was named after one of the stars of Laverne and Shirley...

I knew it wasn't a dirt male...so I started thinking turf males who had run a big race at age 2.

The horse who beat Heavenly Prize that day retired 3-for-3. She's also a half sibling to the unraced Silvery Swan...who's dropped El Corredor, Silver Tornado, and Roman Ruler. Do you remember who trained her?

Reading comprehension skills will tell you he meant seasonal debut.

Yes but then someone asked him to clarify age I assumed he meant three year old, etc. Whatever.

Especially when I clarify it later in another post.

I don't even remember her name but I think she wired the field as the 5-2 second choice. Could she have been trained by Happy Alter?

Second half of the name is something a director calls for...

The pacesetter that day was the immortal Fred Bear Claw...who had a lovely following on message boards from the "pretty horsey" types.

However, he was no rabbit...as he was not connected to the connections of either RQ or FH..he actually managed to hold 3rd.

You are correct, now that I think about it, he wasn't a rabbit, my fault...

but that's a pretty good memory you have...

Owned by Port, green and pink silks I think.

Yup, that's her.. I believe she died later that year.

#56 12-20-2006, 06:24 PM

Sidney Port owned her right?

blackthroatedwind · #57 12-20-2006, 06:25 PM

Sounds right.

KirisClown · #58 12-20-2006, 06:28 PM

Edwin Wachtel owned her when she won Prioress.... Port must have purchased her afterwards. He's listed as her owner in the Test stakes results...

I just remember silks and colors. Took me a second to place those silks, they looked sorta like Juddmontes

The 1999 Hollywood Gold Cup was a four horse field, featuring Real Quiet, Budroyale, 'Big Cap' winner Malek, and Gr 1 'Donn Handicap' winner Puerto Madero.

Real Quiet would wear down Budroyale for the victory. However, the best performance of the day would come an hour later...when this Frankel trained runner would run seven furlongs in 1:19 4/5ths. Breaking the track record by an amazing 3/5ths. Name him....
