2006 Stephen Foster Super Saturday Results

Brilliant, ridden by Robby Albarado, rallied from third to wear down the pacesetting Tahoe Warrior in the final yards to score a half-length victory in the $219,200 Jefferson Cup (G2) for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles on turf in 1:48.47. Albarado said, "The best way to describe his performance is that he ran to his name, Brilliant. He does everything so well. He's such a classy horse. This horse is going to go on and do some bigger things. Hopefully, we'll see him here in the fall. I'm going to give credit where it's due and that's to Neil Howard and his team. They were really patient with him. I rode him with the utmost confidence. He's such a good horse." Trainer Howard may send him next to the Virginia Derby.
