McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbred's freshman stallion Solomini sired his first winner July 1 when his 2-year-old daughter My Shea D Lady won her debut by 3 1/4 lengths at Gulfstream Park. She raced five furlongs on dirt in :58.61.
My Shea D Lady, foaled in New York, is out of Ladyberg , a daughter of Teuflesberg .
Owner Shea D Boys Stable bought My Shea D Lady this year at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training from the Omar Ramirez Bloodstock for $100,000. Initially, she was acquired by Red Claw Stable from McMahon for $25,000 at The Saratoga Fall Sale in 2021 at Fasig-Tipton. The filly is trained by Carlos David.

My Shea D Lady is the first foal for Ladyberg, who was bred to Solomini two subsequent times and produced a live foal in 2023.
Solomini is an 8-year-old son of Curlin bred in Kentucky by Glenna R. Salyer, DVM, out of the unraced Storm Cat mare Fleet Lady . He entered stud in 2020.
The chestnut was purchased by Zayat Stables at the 2016 Keeneland September Yearling Sale for $270,000. The 2017 Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) runner-up was trained by Bob Baffert at age 2 and 3 and also was grade 1 placed in the FrontRunner Stakes (G1), Los Alamitos Futurity (G1) and Arkansas Derby (G1). He won once at 4 for Baffert before being transferred to Steve Asmussen. He wrapped up his career racing for Zayat Stables and Coolmore Stud-affiliated entities.
He stands for an advertised fee of $6,500.
