2011 Ticonderoga Stakes [05:11]
In this day and age, a trainer running a horse back in 12 days is often viewed with a raised eyebrow. As a disciple of the Hall of Fame trainer Woody Stephens, trainer David Donk says it's simply old school. Running back 12 days after finishing second in the Pebbles Stakes against open company, the 3-year-old filly Hessonite took her elder New York-bred females to school in the $125000 Ticonderoga Stakes, rallying five wide in the stretch to win by 1 1/4 lengths. Gitchee Goomie, a multiple stakes winning 4-year-old, finished second.
