Champion filly Proud Spell pictured left after winning the 128th running of the Alabama Stakes (G1) on Saturday. The much maligned 20 year old Gabe Saez held off a gallant charge by the Sheikh's very talented Music Note in the battle of the meet so far. The five horse race was instantly became a classic as the duel for supremacy in the 3yo filly division may have been decided. Will we see the rematch at Santa Anita on Breeders Cup Friday? Doubtful, but let's hope so.
A pumped up Gabe Saez after winning the Alabama!
