Constitution has risen to the number 2 spot on the 2019 First-Crop Sire list after he tallied his 11th freshman winner on Sept. 16, when Nurse Betty broke her maiden by nearly three lengths in her debut at Parx.
The gray or roan filly came from several lengths off the pace to roll by early leader Golden Chance in mid-stretch, officially winning the 5 1/2-furlong contest by 2 3/4-lengths (VIDEO).
Nurse Betty races for Swilcan Stable LLC and LC Racing and was bred in Kentucky by J D. Stuart, P C Bance and A R Enterprises, Inc. She is out of Lady Fifty Two, winner of the Washington Oaks and is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Lady of Fifty.
Among Constitution’s winners are the filly Amalfi Sunrise, who won the Sorrento S. (G2) and the colt By Your Side, winner of the Sanford S. (G3).
