Other Notes: Jackson may have reminded some long-time observers of the race’s namesake, drawing off to win the 2019 renewal in track-record time of 1:38.86 for the mile-and-40-yard distance. The victory was one of five on the card for jockey Pablo Morales from five mounts. Noble Drama’s stirring rally resulted in the fourth stakes victory for trainer David Fawkes at the 2017-2018 meeting, all with Florida-breds. Breeder-owner Harold L. Queen bred Noble Drama from a daughter of Burning Roma, Queen’s 2001 Tampa Bay Derby winner. Fawkes has trained numerous stakes winners for Queen, most notably 2010 Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner Big Drama. The Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Silver Charm Florida Sire Stakes is named for the Hall of Fame champion whose victories included the 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness and the 1998 Dubai World Cup.
