Foley has high hopes for Tigers Rule

LEXINGTON, Ky. – With its oversubscribed field, options for the Grade 3 Bourbon on Sunday are almost limitless – but trainer Vickie Foley is hoping handicappers don’t have to look any further than the No. 1 horse, Tigers Rule.

A sharp two-length winner of a maiden race last month at Kentucky Downs, Tigers Rule has Foley and her numerous partners in the Kitten’s Joy colt excited about his future prospects.

“He won so impressively,” said Foley, a winner of nearly 600 races in a career dating to 1981. “None of the stakes winners from New York are coming down for this race, so I really think we’ve got as good a chance as anybody.”
