Aloma's Ruler

At age three in 1982, under star jockey Ángel Cordero Jr. he won the Bahamas Stakes at Hialeah Park Race Track on January 7.

Then, with Kaenel again in the saddle for the biggest win of his career, he defeated prohibitive favorite Linkage in the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course.

In a race devoid of early speed, Aloma's Ruler made the lead easily, slowed the pace down the back stretch, and held on to win.

[2] He finished ninth over a sloppy track in the Belmont Stakes[3] and with Ángel Cordero Jr. back on board, won the Jersey Derby at Monmouth Park in July.

Aloma's Ruler died from an apparent heart attack at age twenty-four on June 21, 2003, at an Illinois farm.
