Korrell rode Riverdee Stable's Queens Empire (Ire) for Fisher to win the featured $25,000, 3 1/8 mile Timber Stakes by 1 length over Bogey's Image, trained by Joe Davies, and Druid's Altar. trained by William Dowling, finishing in 7:09 1/5.
"That was his first win,"said Fisher of Queens Image, who ran over hurdles in 2021 and 2022 before turning to timber in 2023, and despite never having won also has never run worse than fourth since 2022.
"He'll probably run next at Genesee Valley," said Fisher.
"I rode Queens Image once before, at Willowdale, where he was second in the Allowance race," said Korrell. "He doesn't like to be passed by horses, so I kept him back and just made one run with him. When he starts to pass horses, he gets some confidence."
The going was very deep and holding, it was very humid and after the second race it also got hot, so that affected the performance of a number of horses.
"There were 17 horses that had heat stroke," said Fisher. "All of them are okay now."
This was not only acceptable, but the only solution.
