She
dug down, fought back and refused to lose”
Biographical
information courtesy of Old Friends
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.
