SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) — Blind Luck fought off Havre de Grace inside the sixteenth pole to win the $500,000 Alabama Stakes for 3-year-old fillies by a neck at Saratoga Race Course on Saturday.
Joel Rosario rode the Jerry Hollendorfer-trained filly to victory in 114-mile race in 2:03.99, adding the Grade 1 Alabama to four stakes victories this year including the Kentucky Oaks.
She paid $5.60, $3.80 and $3.60. Havre de Grace earned $6 and $5.90, and Acting Happy returned $9 to show in the six-horse field. Heavily favored Devil May Care finished fourth.
The California-based Blind Luck earned $300,000, pushing her 2010 earnings past $1 million for owners Mark Dedomenico, Mark Carver and Hollendorfer.
