Progressive American Pharoah (USA) colt MacKinnon made it
back-to-back stakes wins when taking out the
$200,000 Zuma Beach Stakes (1m) at Santa Anita on Sunday.
MACKINNON
A last start winner of the
$102,000 Del Mar Juvenile Turf Stakes (1m), the colt proved much the best in
cruising home to win by more than two lengths, his overall record now three wins and a second from five starts.
“We didn’t get the most ideal trip,” his trainer said.
“He was little green early, but our jockey said once we got the first half mile behinds us, he settled nicely. And as you could see, he finished up really well. If he comes out of this in good shape, it’s on to the Breeders’ Cup.”
MacKinnon was a $200,000 purchase at last year's Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearling Showcase.
MacKinnon is the first winner for stakes-placed Scat Daddy mare Scat Means Go.
HEAD OF STATE
American Pharoah recently posted his
first Australian stakes-winner when Head of State saluted in the Group 3 ATC Gloaming Stakes and the Chris Waller trained colt will be well fancied to win the
Group 1 ATC Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) this Saturday. He will be joined in the Gr1 Spring Champion by the Hawkes trained
Patton also a son of
American Pharoah.
