She may have finished 2nd, but proud of her for taking care of her unfinished business with Super Coredora! Nearly was the beneficiary but needed to be done!

Congratulations to the connections of Stellify, winner of the Grade III Ladie's Marathon Invitational Stakes at @KYDownsRacing yesterday! The @bradcoxracing trainee is now currently the 10th highest earner for 2025. Shot for the @saratogaspecial

@SaraChristineG @KYDownsRacing She’s a beast!

How it started 👉 How it ended 🤩 I enjoyed a wonderful first trip to @KYDownsRacing on Saturday! The track, the quality of the card, the horses, the atmosphere…so, so impressed. Most definitely worth a trip. And yay Stellify! 💫

Stellify passes the test in her first try against stakes company in the Grade 3 Ladies Marathon. James Scully caught up with winning rider @flothejock after the race.

She has lived up to her name!

We are a go!
