Del Mar, Calif. – The South African mare Gimme anotherwho had raced this year since transplanting from her native country, scored a smart victory in the class II John C. Mabee Stakes in del Mar on Saturday.
The 5-year-old bay was well positioned by the leading rider Juan Hernandez and then shot in the track to get a length and a quarter winner in the Nine-Furlong Turf test. She grabbed a check for $ 150,000 from the $ 252,000 gross wallet to increase her career income to $ 425,773 with her eighth victory in her 12th start. She is a daughter of the South African stallion Gimmethegreenlight.
“She (assistant Clapham) told me that she is a very nice marefish. She told me that she can run from behind the pace; you can do what you want with her,” said Hernandez.
“She got out a bit around the turn and the #4 (favorite medoro) horse came a bit close to me. So I just tried to get into a good position and save terrain. As soon as the horse stepped out a bit in front of me, around the quarter pole, then she went on.”
Secondly, ending in the peat test was the Medoro of CRK Stable, the 7/10 favorite. She had a length and three -quarters on Ryzan Sun Racing and Madaket Stables’ Mission of Joy.
Lately before the race was 1: 48.55. This was the 68th edition of the John C. MABEE.
“Juan (Hernandez) had a plan and we said that if anyone wants to go, just leave them and just let her sit. She is very easy and easy to drive and he did it great. When he asked her, and she got with the other and changed leads that I thought:” Now she has “em,” she said Alice Clapham, Assistant to Graam Motion.
The deployment was the 10th of the meeting for rider Hernandez and his second (Avenue de France, 2022) in the Mabee. He now has 62 deployment victories in Del Mar.
The deployment win the second of the finish for trainer Motion, but his first in the Mabee. He now has 12 Stakes victories in Del Mar.
The winning owner is Newstead Stables from Steve and Jessica Jell from Lewisville, PA.
