Memories of Silver was a multiple Grade 1 winner of over $1.4million... but she might have outdone herself as a broodmare. Her best known daughter, Winter Memories, retired earlier this year, but an older daughter, La Cloche, is still going. She ran perhaps her best lifetime race to take the first of today's graded stakes at Belmont Park - the G3 Athenia. (NYRA Photo/Facebook)
