Bloodlines: Arazi Leaves Behind A Globetrotting Legacy
Sponsored by:
Arazi, winner of the 1991 BC Juvenile, was bred by Ralph Wilson Jr.
In general, American dirt racing is dominated by horses with a high turn of early speed. Relatively few winners come from far back, especially in the most prestigious races. As a result, those who do make a greater impression. Few would forget Secretariat's run from last in the first quarter of the 1973 Kentucky Derby to winning in record time.
Likewise, those of us who were there at the Breeders' Cup races at Churchill Downs in 1991 won't forget the Grade 1 Juvenile victory by Arazi (by Blushing Groom). The first trans-Atlantic juvenile champion, Arazi had come into the race with a grand reputation.
