LOUISVILLE, Ky. - As the all-time leading stakes-winning trainer at Churchill Downs, Bill Mott has won virtually every grass stakes since the track opened its course in 1987. Interestingly, one Churchill race that eluded him was the Mrs. Revere, a Grade 2 race named for a filly who helped carry Mott to prominence in the mid-1980's.
Finally, Mott has his Mrs. Revere. My Typhoon, a royally bred filly owned by the Live Oak Plantation, gamely held on Saturday to win the 15th running of the $166,950 by a nose Saturday before 11,182 ontrack fans.
