Six years ago, Daddys Lil Darling headed overseas for a tilt in the Epsom Oaks. But the plan fell apart at the last moment when the filly was unnerved by thunder and lightning on her way to the gate, lost her rider, and was a late scratch. In a nice bit of kismet, Daddys Lil Darling is now the dam of the early favorite for this year's Epsom Oaks. Her first foal, Savethelastdance, scored a devastating 22-length victory in the Cheshire Oaks on Tuesday at Chester to stamp herself as a classic threat.

Before he set records on the racetrack, Secretariat set syndication standard

When Secretariat arrived at Barn 42 at Churchill Downs a half-century ago, he had already put his name in the record books multiple times – remarkable, considering the run he was about to embark upon, beginning with shading two minutes in the Derby.
