Fairchild (
Speightstown x Samantha Nicole [MdO]) won the 4th at Keeneland, a MSW for 3yo fillies. She fought bravely between horses to keep her nose in front.
Samantha N is a full sister to Rachel Alexandra, which I guess makes Fairchild Rachel's niece.
She won the Wasted Tear Stakes at Lone Star on Saturday for her first stakes win!

Kinda warms my heart to see that somebody has a stakes race named for Wasted Tears. I just fell in love with her when she was running. She missed getting her GI win by just a year when she won the John C Mabee at Del Mar the first year it was downgraded to a GII in 2010. She really did like Del Mar, as that same year, she finished a close second in the GI Matriarch as well.
After several foals, she hasn't had a lot of success as a broodmare, but she did manage to produce last year's 2yo Champion Corniche to the cover of Quality Road. She was a fun one to be a fan of.
