The Prize Classic
MAYBELLINA
by Luis Prieto Zamudio, translation by Eduardo Silveyra
This is the first classic of the season reserved for two-year-old colts and fillies, the trials of which were held on April 13 with the participation of 17 horses, all bred in the United States. Three weeks later, the finals were held with eight of the ten final- ists due to the scratching of Night Terror and Dancing Perry Doll.
The test was at 300 yards with a prize of $595,900 pesos (approx. to $31,169 U.S.).
In the trials, the superiority of the grey filly Maybellina was notable as she won her qualifying race in :14.99, the best time among the participants. And as if that were not enough, her stablemate Perryssilksilhouette also won her heat in :15.093, the next best after Maybellina.
Thus, the entry of these two fil-
lies received wide support in the betting windows, which they proved on the track, especially Maybellina, who under the com- mand of Mario Alberto López Marmolejo had no mercy on her rivals and was credited with the win by 3-lengths in front of Más Buena, who took the lead in the first yards,
but could not resist the onslaught of the grey filly, who immediately surpassed her and exhausted the distance in a brief :14.98 (SI 101), improving by one hundredth the time of her previous departure.
The filly is owned by Rancho R-H, where she is trained by José Alfredo Rivera Hernández. She was raised by Duke Racing LLC and was consigned to the Heritage Place Yearling Sale where she was acquired for $36,000 by veterinarian Rachuán Suárez Kuri, who brought her to Mexico and sold her to her current owners.
