Talented American Pharoah (USA) mare Merneith made it
back-to-back wins in the $200,000
Group 2 Santa Monica Stakes (1400m) at Santa Anita.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Merneith won this race last year and has had only one start since, when returning to her best form to lead all the way and win by three lengths for jockey Edwin Maldonado.
“It never gets old,” said Maldonado, who has now piloted Merneith in her last three starts.
“I’m very happy. I just want to thank [trainer] Bob [Baffert] for leaving me on her. I’m pretty sure he could have put anybody else but the fact that he put me back on her, it means a lot to me.
“I was just letting her do everything on her own, I didn’t want to take anything away from her.”
Bred by China Horse Club, the filly was sold for $350,000 at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale as a weanling.
She returned to the sales as a 2-year-old, where she brought $600,000 from Narvick International on behalf of her racing owner.
One of now 42 Stakes Horses for the promising sire with 24 Stakes-Winners and 18 Stakes Placegetters worldwide for American Pharoah,
Merneith is the best of three winners out of stakes winner
Flattermewithroses.
