Jabot (foaled 1931 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racemare who won several stakes races and set a new Santa Anita Park track record in winning the San Carlos Handicap over 13 of the premier stake racers in the country.[1] [2] [3] [4] Her place in racing history was accentuated as the dam of the 1951 American Horse of the Year, Counterpoint.[5]
Bred and raced by Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Jabot was trained by the father and son team of Tom and John Healey.
Jabot was a full sister to Cravat, a record-setting colt who won on both dirt and turf racecourses. They were sired by Sickle, a British Champion Two-Year-Old Colt who would become a two-time leading sire in North America. Sickle was a son of the important sire Phalaris, a two-time leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland. Jabot and Cravat's dam was Frilette, a daughter of the legendary U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Man o' War.[6]
