The Triple Tiara?

Question

What races are run for the Triple Tiara?

Please give me the dates and what time please!

I just read that Indian Blessing is probably going to be run in the Acorn Stakes.. I thought that was one of the races, but I could be wrong.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

The filly crown used to be the Acorn, Mother Goose, and the Coaching Club American Oaks... (get it? the oak grows from the acorn!)... but it was reconfigured into the Mother Goose, CCAOaks, and the Alabama.  When Ruffian ran, the Acorn was part of the crown.  Now the Alabama is part of the crown instead.  Indian Blessing probably won't run in the later races... the Acorn is just a mile... the Mother Goose is 9 furlongs and the CCAOaks and the Alabama are both 10 furlongs.  There were big distance concerns with Indian Blessing... she's much more effective at the short distances.  So they'll probably keep her in races of a mile or less in length.
