Amy C wins the Senator Ken Maddy Stakes at Santa Anita Park
Amy C will look to make it consecutive stakes wins for trainer Phil D'Amato when she headlines a field of eight fillies and mares in the $100,000 Las Cienegas Stakes (G3T) Jan. 2 at Santa Anita Park.
Originally scheduled for New Year's Day, the Las Cienegas, to be run at about 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course, was pushed back a day due to a forecast of rain this weekend. It is Monday's first race.
Amy C steps back into the graded-stakes ranks following a 1 1/2-length victory in the Oct. 29 Senator Ken Maddy Stakes going down the hill. Owned by Madaket Stables, Michael Dubb, and Bob LaPenta, the 5-year-old English-bred daughter of Charming Thought has a record of 4-1-0 in nine races and earnings of $188,385.
D'Amato also entered Irish-bred Burgoo Alley , a grade 3 winner who is 0-for-2 on the hillside course.
Eastern-based trainer Eddie Kenneally has sent Brooke Marie from Fair Grounds Racing & Slots in New Orleans for a return visit to Santa Anita. In April, Castleton Lyons' Brooke Marie shipped to the California oval and won the Monrovia Stakes (G2T) at 9-2 odds when racing down the hill. The 7-year-old mare by Lemon Drop Kid has gone winless in four subsequent starts.
Completing entries are Lady Edith , Freedom Flyer , Lady Jae , Royal Address , and Countess Rosina .
