What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Santa Maria (G2)...

With a sixteenth of a mile to go, it appeared the mighty Zenyatta’s winning streak was in serious danger. Mike Smith was getting in to her like I had not seen since 2009, and yet the other filly was somehow holding her at bay.

  • Ann Maree · We need to remember that Zenyatta was giving the field from 10-15 pounds! She still got the job done, but that was the onlly reason, I think, that St. Trinians got that close to her! I'm hoping that Zardana, St. Trinians, and Vision all wind up in the Santa Margarita, along with Blind Luck, Harmonious and Princess to challenge Switch! The winner of that race will likely be crowned the reigning new Older Female to fill the spot vacated by Zenyatta! I would love it if either Harnomious or Zardana were to win that spot, as Zenyatta's former stable mates! · 471 days ago ·

When last seen, St Trinians ran a game second to Zenyatta in last summer’s Vanity Handicap (gr. I). Eight months later she will return from the sidelines when making her dirt debut in the $150,000 Santa Maria Stakes (gr. II) Feb. 12 at Santa Anita. The 6-year-old mare won the event a year ago.A fiel...Read More
St. Trinians is headed towards her 2011 debut after a tangle with Zenyatta in the Vanity Handicap last year compelled trainer Mike Mitchell to give the filly a long rest due to body soreness. After wins in the Santa Maria and Paseana Handicap last year St. Trinians finished 6th to the boys in the Sa...Read More
