Turkish Trousers (foaled 1968) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse bred and raced by California businessman, Howard B. Keck. Ridden by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Bill Shoemaker, two-year-old Turkish Trousers made her debut a winning one on December 30, 1970 at Santa Anita Park. The following year she was the dominant filly of her age group and after winning eight important stakes, was voted the 1971 Eclipse Award for American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly. Her wins included the top race for three-year-old fillies at each of the three Southern California tracks, taking the Del Mar Oaks at Del Mar Racetrack,〔( ''Tri City Herald'' - August 24, 1971 )〕 the Hollywood Oaks at Hollywood Park Racetrack,〔(''Los Angeles Times'' July 23, 1971 )〕 and the Santa Susana Stakes (now the Santa Anita Oaks) at Santa Anita Park.〔(''New York Times'' March 12, 1971 )〕 In her first start at age four in 1972, Turkish Trousers finished second to Typecast in the Santa Monica Handicap. She returned to form in February 1972 but as the bettors' longshot when she won the Santa Maria Handicap and paid $190.40 for a $2 winning ticket.〔(''Los Angeles Times'' February 20, 1972 )〕 She then won the Santa Margarita Handicap in March, again defeating Typecast as well as another top-rated filly, Convenience. After that, Turkish Trousers finished off the board in her next starts and was retired at the end of the year. As a broodmare, Turkish Trousers' offspring met with limited success. From her four foals that raced, her best was probably the 1976 filly Persona, sired by Tom Rolfe, who won four of thirty-two starts and earned US$102,225. ==References== * (Turkish Trousers' pedigree and partial racing stats ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turkish Trousers (horse)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
