Saratoga Dew

Saratoga Dew (April 3, 1989 - April 4, 2013) was an American Thoroughbred Champion racehorse. Bred by Penny Chenery, owner of Secretariat, and raced by Charles F. Engel, in 1992 Saratoga Dew became the first New York-bred horse to win an Eclipse Award.

Trained by Gary Sciacca and ridden by Herb McCauley in her major races, en route to earning 1992 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly honors, Saratoga Dew won eight times. In top level races she was second by a nose in the Alabama Stakes then scored wins in the Grade 1 Gazelle Handicap and Beldame Stakes and the Grade 2 Comely Stakes. Sent off as the parimutuel betting favorite in the 1992 Breeders' Cup Distaff at Florida's Gulfstream Park, Saratoga Dew had the lead by the half-mile mark but faded badly to finish twelfth in a fourteen-horse field.

Retired to broodmare duty, in 1995 Saratoga Dew was bought by Osamu Yasuda of Shinkoh Farm for 850,000 US$ at the November Breeding Sales to stand at Japan.^[1]
