*I was a classic Kentucky bred with two Kentucky Derby winners in my pedigree
*Well traveled, my stakes wins came at eight different racetracks and in seven different states.
*Never let go at higher than 5-2, I was clearly popular with the bettors.
*Eight of my eleven lifetime victories came in one of my three seasons of racing.
*Dirt was my surface; I never raced on anything else.
*I was once favored over a Kentucky Derby winner at Belmont, but I was not successful.
*My stakes wins had a three quarter of a mile spread between the shortest and the longest.
*I was a stakes winner in each of my three years of racing.
*My jockey and I had a monogamous relationship, or at least on my end, as he was my only lifetime race rider.
*My impressive winning streak brought me accolades and a place in history.
*One of my losses came in the Mid-Summer Derby, where I was favored to win.

Thank you for guessing Tim, but...no it is not Nashua.
Davona Dale
Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Billy, Billy, Billy! The answer is indeed Davona Dale, the Hall of Fame runner for Calumet from 1978-1980. She won eight straight stakes in her championship season of 1979, and during that streak, she became the only filly to win the old filly triple crown of Kentucky Oaks, Black-Eyed Susan, and Coaching Club Oaks, as well as the modern triple tiara of the Acorn, Mother Goose and CC Oaks. Congrats once again to Mr. Huntington!
