<\/p>\n

His star filly sidelined by pneumonia as a 2-year-old, trainer Chad Brown<\/a> wasn\u2019t sure Always a Runner<\/a> ever would race.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cHer career was really up in the air,\u201d Brown said. \u201cShe didn\u2019t have to be here today. She didn\u2019t have to run. She could have never run, easily. I\u2019ve had it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Always a Runner got well and has rewarded the patience of her connections, giving Brown his first Kentucky Oaks<\/a> victory.<\/p>\n

Always a Runner and jockey Jose Ortiz rallied five-wide off the turn, took the lead with half a furlong to go and pulled away for a 1 \u00bc-length victory in \u00a0Friday\u2019s $1.5 million, Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks in front of 103,290 fans at Churchill Downs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of different setbacks with horses, but this is way up at the top of the list in perseverance,\u201d Brown said. \u201cFor a horse to overcome things, this is at the top.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Always a Runner and jockey Jose Ortiz covered the 1 1\/8 miles in 1:48.82 and paid $13.04 on a $2 win wager.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meaning rallied for second place, and Counting Stars was third.<\/p>\n

It was an historic night for the Oaks<\/a>, which was televised in prime time for the first time. Post time had been at 5:51 p.m. in recent years but was moved to 8:40 p.m. for this year\u2019s race.<\/p>\n\n

Ortiz, who recorded five victories on the day, didn\u2019t seem to mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very long day,\u201d Ortiz said, \u201cbut it was a great day for me. I got five wins and capped it off with the Oaks. It was a good vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Good vibes were few and far between for Always a Runner last fall.<\/p>\n

She was a $1.05 million purchase as a yearling, and Brown said he could see her potential as soon as she arrived at his barn last year.<\/p>\n

Then came the phone call and the pneumonia diagnosis. Earlier this week, Brown called it a rough fall for his 2-year-olds \u2013 many of whom were ill \u2013 but said Always a Runner may have suffered the worst. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis filly was struggling,\u201d Brown said. \u201cShe had a severe case of it and was in a clinic for over a month. Everyone was patient, and we had a wonderful team of veterinarians that helped her get back. We would have never thought we\u2019d be here today when I got that phone call.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Always a Runner finally got to the track in February, winning her debut at Tampa Bay Downs. After another brief illness, she won the Grade 3 Gazelle on April 4 at Aqueduct.<\/p>\n\n

All the while, Brown was trying to balance conditioning with care.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fine line you walk of how far you push for this,\u201d Brown said. \u201cIf you swing and you miss and you\u2019ve really trained them hard to do it and you don\u2019t win and you\u2019ve compromised your season, that can happen. \u2026 When you have the right horse and the right team, things have a way of working themselves out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Always a Runner raced midpack early as the Bob Baffert-trained Explora set fractions of 23.84 seconds for the quarter-mile, 48.51 seconds for the half-mile and 1:13.00 for three-quarters.<\/p>\n

Ortiz was thrilled with his position the entire race.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saved ground, tipped out right at the quarter-pole,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was just a dream trip. I was very happy to be in the position I was.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Explora faded, Meaning briefly took the lead before Always a Runner raced by.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I asked her, she exploded,\u201d Meaning jockey Juan Hernandez said. \u201cI thought we had it for a second. The other filly was just a little faster than we were today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Always a Runner earned $855,600 for co-owners Douglas Scharbauer and Three Chimneys Farm. She\u2019s undefeated in three career starts, earning a total of $987,800.<\/p>\n

Scharbauer gave all the credit to Brown, who made all the right decisions following Always a Runner\u2019s illness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a fantastic job,\u201d Scharbauer said. \u201c I\u2019ve never seen it happen like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
