Trainer Chad Brown holds three strong chances in a field of eight with Fluffy Socks, Lemista , and Flighty Lady all entered in the July 23 WinStar Matchmaker Stakes (G3T), a 1 1/8-mile event over the turf at Monmouth Park.
Leading the trio is Fluffy Socks, a 4-year-old filly who won her first race in graded stakes company in her fifth start in the 2020 Jimmy Durante Stakes (G3T). She went on to win the 2021 Sands Point Stakes (G2T) and was third in both the Del Mar Oaks (G1T) and the American Oaks (G1) that same year.
The daughter of Slumber has earnings of $549,680 from 14 starts and has not yet seen a win during the 2022 season, placing fourth last out in the June 18 Eatontown Stakes (G3T).
A 5-year-old daughter of Raven's Pass , Lemista gives Brown another shot. Having won group stakes twice overseas in the Lodge Park Stud Irish E.B.F. Park Express Stakes (G3) and in the Kilboy Estate Stakes (G2), both in 2020, the mare has yet to win a race in North America.
Her last start was a third-place finish in the Eatontown ahead of stablemate Fluffy Socks.
Five-year-old Flighty Lady closes out Brown's entrants. With a third-place finish in her last start in the New York Stakes (G1T), the daughter of Sir Percy will be vying for her first graded stakes win in the Matchmaker.
