Sent to the track at age two, Aloma's Ruler won one stakes race. At age three in 1982, under star jockey Ángel Cordero Jr. he won the Bahamas Stakes at Hialeah Park Race Track on January 7. With a new rider, sixteen-year-old Jack Kaenel, he captured the May 8 Withers Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack. 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.[4] Aloma's Ruler came out of a second-place finish on August 2t Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course with an ankle injury that ended his racing career.
