Meadow Star surely enjoyed a stellar racing career.

She won her first nine starts. Eight of them were stakes and four were Grade 1s.

She was a decisive winner by five lengths in the 1990 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies and the undefeated filly was a unanimous choice as the year’s champion 2-year-old female.

At 3, she was tested against colts in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial Stakes, in which she finished fourth and suffered her first defeat. Returned to distaff competition after that setback, she romped by six lengths in the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes.

The dust has settled on the 43rd Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland Race Course, and results from the event have drastically changed the Equibase leaderboard tabulating 2026 North American earnings for horses, jockeys, and trainers.

There were some great performances from 3-year-olds over Breeders’ Cup weekend Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland.

Won by some of the sport’s greatest 3-year-old fillies, Saturday’s Mother Goose Stakes has a long and storied history. The former Grade 1 race will now return to the new Belmont Park after being hosted by Aqueduct the past three seasons.
