Nest feathers account with win in Alabama at Saratoga

Nest won the $600,000, Grade I Alabama Stakes at Saratoga. She was the favorite, but she had a rough start. Nest finished ahead of Secret Oath, who finished fourth in the Preakness Stake. The show horse Goddess of Fire finished second. Mike Repole, one of Nest's co-owners, has already claimed year-end championship honors for Nest. He won 2015 runnings of the Oaks and the Alabama with Stopchargingmaria. They are the daughter of two-time champion Curlin from the mare Marion Revenwood.
