Quiet Meadow in G2 Noble Damsel Photo Finish!
9/26/2009
Quiet Meadow turned in a courageous photo finish in the Grade 2 Noble Damsel Handicap at Belmont Saturday, second by just a flared nostril to 2-5 favorite Rutherianne. Stalking a hot opening quarter in 22 and change, Quiet Meadow took control at the top of the stretch before being challenged by Rutherianne. She fought so gamely that rival jock Alan Garcia was later quoted as saying he congratulated Quiet Meadow's rider, Javier Castellano just after the wire. The leaders were 3-1/2 lengths ahead of the show horse. The El Prado filly is owned by Hidden Brook and partners, and trained by Chad Brown.
