2006 Toyota Blue Grass Weekend at Keeneland

On Friday, there were two stakes races over the firm turf course. The $250,000 Maker's Mark Mile (G2) for older horses saw 6-1 second choice Miesque's Approval and jockey Eddie Castro pull off the upset, closing through the stretch to just catch 1-2 favorite Artie Schiller at the line getting the trip in 1:34.06. Good Reward was third. A tearful Karla Wolfson, wife and assistant of winning trainer Marty Wolfson (far left), said, "I want to thank (winning owner) Mrs. Charlotte Weber for the opportunity to train this horse. A tremendous ride from Eddie Castro as usual. He is a better jockey than even he knows he is. He is one of a kind."
