Milwaukee Appeal

Milwaukee Appeal (foaled 2006 in Ontario) is a Canadian Thoroughbred racehorse.

Background

Milwaukee Appeal was bred and raced by businessman Eugene George under his nom de course, C.E.C. Farms. Sired by Milwaukee Brew, one of only three horses to ever win back-to-back runnings of the Santa Anita Handicap, her grandsire, Wild Again, won the 1984 Breeders' Cup Classic. Her dam, Appealing Forum, is a daughter of Open Forum who won the Risen Star Stakes and is a son of two-time Leading sire in North America and Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Deputy Minister. Based at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. Milwaukee Appeal is trained by Scott Fairlie.

Racing career

The filly's 2009 season has been highlighted by a win in the Woodbine Oaks^[2] in which she was ridden by Canadian-born jockey Stewart Elliott who won the 2004 Kentucky Derby aboard Smarty Jones. With jockey Elliott aboard her again, Milwaukee Appeal finished third in the 150th running of Canada's premier race, the Queen's Plate.

On July 12 of 2009, the filly made an impressive score at Fort Erie for the annual Prince of Wales Stakes. In which, she placed a decent second place. Drawing chute 2 apparently. Yet, the filly came and beat Queen's Plate winner Eye of the Leopard, in that race of over $500,000, and finished behind winner, Gallant.

She did not compete in the Breeders Stakes. She ran in the Alabama Stakes and finished a strong second behind Careless Jewel.
