Giant Expecations was bred by Sunrise Stables. General manager Andrew Cohen manages the stallion career of Frost Giant, along with Big Brown and Heavy Breathing.

Ear- lier that day the couple set their DVR to record the race with plans to watch the mare Frost Wise, they’d bred back in 2012 later in the evening, when things on the farm were quieter.

We went to Tiz Wonderful because we wanted to produce something commercial,” said Jane Moriarty, a transplanted New Yorker. “Quezon just keeps getting better (with age), and I really credit her owner and trainer for managing her career so beautifully.” During the initial stages of the seven-furlong La Verdad, Quezon, who was coming off a solid last-out win in December’s Garland of Roses Stakes, rated in fourth beneath Joe Rocco Jr. as the 7-10 favorite in the feld of six older fllies and mares.

But Rocco quickly rallied Quezon with a deft inside-out move to sidle up alongside of her.

But now, as the Malatinos enter the stallion business, Robin is facing a challenge that even she acknowledges is a little daunting. A year ago, when their multiple graded stakes winner War Dancer was set to begin his stud career at Rockridge Stud near Hudson, Malatino spoke confdently of a frst- year book of 100 mares. “I ate those words,” she admitted. “I was much more naïve than I am now.

When the Union Course opened in Queens County in 1821, its president, John Cox Stevens, persuaded Van Ranst to bring his undefeated horse out of retirement to lend his new track ECLIPSE some prestige. On opening day American Eclipse faced the celebrated 9-year-old mare Lady Lightfoot. Although the mare BY ALLAN CARTER was favored at 2-1, American Eclipse exhibited no rust by winning in straight heats, this time legally.

There was no telling how long he would go.” Eisenberg also had high praise for American Eclipse: “Eclipse was still a majestic athlete...Even at nine years old, he made the task of running a four-mile heat seem like a leisurely gallop.” On May 27, 1823, an estimated 50,000 people poured into the Union Course to watch the race.
