Saratoga Dew

Saratoga Dew (April 3, 1989 - April 4, 2013) is an American Thoroughbred Champion racehorse. Bred by Penny Cheneryhttps://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=Horse&refno=1226615&registry=T&rbt=TB, owner of Secretariat, and raced by Charles F. Engel, in 1992 Saratoga Dew became the first New York-bred horse to win an Eclipse Award.

Trained by Gary Sciacca and ridden by Herb McCauley in her major races, en route to earning 1992 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly honors, Saratoga Dew won eight times. In top level races she was second by a nose in the Alabama Stakes then scored wins in the Grade 1 Gazelle Handicap and Beldame Stakes and the Grade 2 Comely Stakes. Sent off as the parimutuel betting favorite in the 1992 Breeders' Cup Distaff at Florida's Gulfstream Park, Saratoga Dew had the lead by the half-mile mark but faded badly to finish twelfth in a fourteen-horse field.

Retired to broodmare duty, in 1995 Saratoga Dew was bought by Osamu Yasuda of Shinkoh Farm for 850,000 US$ at the November Breeding Sales to stand at Japan.

Her first born, Lady Blossom, foaled champion sprinter and JRA Hall of Fame inductee Lord Kanaloa.
