Multiple stakes winner Hot Fudge to be sold at Keeneland

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Hot Fudge, a three-time listed stakes-winning female sprinter, is cataloged to be sold at the Keeneland November sale and was scheduled to leave trainer Linda Rice’s Belmont Park barn on Monday.

Hot Fudge, a 5-year-old daughter of Liam’s Map, reeled off consecutive stakes victories in the Garland of Roses, Interborough, and Correction during the winter at Aqueduct. While she hasn’t won since, Hot Fudge did finish third in the Bed o’ Roses and Vagrancy. She had a record of 8-1-4 from 18 starts and earned $577,105.

Her last race came in the Grade 2 Gallant Bloom on Sept. 29 where she finished fourth behind Ways and Means.

“She was very good to us,” Rice said. “Sad to see her go, but it’s the right timing for her.”
