Trainer Janet Elliot is back with a horse of the year contender.
By early September, Janet Elliot had been inducted as the first female trainer into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame and won six races. But nothing, she said, could top Red Letter Day’s win in the $150,000 Lonesome Glory Stakes.
With the National Steeplechase Association horse of the year title up for grabs, the Lonesome Glory Steeplechase Stakes Grade I, run Sept. 20 at historic Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y., proved a pivotal showdown.
