Hidden
Lake

biographical
information courtesy of
Old
Friends website
It
was a sweltering, humid day at Saratoga. Hidden Lake, trying for
her third stakes win, lost the lead with 1/16 of a mile to go. She
dug down, fought back and refused to lose. Her jockey, Richard
Migliore, summed up her greatness of spirit: “She reached
down and found something that wasn't there.” That's what
champions do.
Bred by Charles Nuckols, Jr. and sons, and
raced by Robert Clay and Tracy Farmer, in 1997 she reeled off 4
graded stakes victories in a row, the Shuvee (G2), the Hempstead
(G1), the Go For Wand (G1) and the Beldame (G1), resulting in
earnings of $947,459 and the 1997 Eclipse Award for Older Female
Champion. She was a true New York girl. Her West Coast trainer,
Walter Greenman, felt that the California tracks were stinging her
feet and that she would do better on the East Coast, so she was
sent to trainer John Kimmel. That's when she really came into her
own.
After
racing, she spent several years as a broodmare, but after
increasing difficulty carrying foals to term, she was donated to
Old Friends by owner Robert S. Evans. Thanks to his generosity,
the regal Hidden Lake now holds audiences for her many adoring
fans.
