Pearl Necklace (1974–1991) was an American Thoroughbred racing mare bred and raced by Reginald N. Webster. She was sired by Ambernash, a son of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Nashua, and her dam was Another Jane, a daughter of Traffic Judge, a top runner whose wins included the Woodward Stakes and the Metropolitan and Suburban Handicaps.[1]
Racing career
[edit]Trained by Roger Laurin, Pearl Necklace raced for four years from 1976 through 1979. At age three she won the Long Island Handicap and Gazelle Handicap[2] and at four the important Maskette Stakes and the New York Handicap[3] but had her best year at age five when she captured the Flower Bowl,[4] Geisha,[5] Shuvee,[6] Hempstead,[7] and Diana Handicaps.[8]
Broodmare
[edit]Pearl Necklace was bred to several top horses such as Alydar, His Majesty, Lyphard and Conquistador Cielo, among others. However, none met with racing success.[9]
