2022 Saratoga Sale Topper SEDONA broke her maiden at first asking at going seven furlongs at Gulfstream on March 3.  The 3-year-old filly came from off the pace, went wide at the top stretch, then posted an impressive rally to win the race and earn a “TDN Rising Star” designation.

Bred by celebrity chef Bobby Flay, SEDONA is by Curling out the A.P. Indy mare America.  Raised and sold by Stone Farm, she was purchased as a yearling by Woodford Racing, LLC, West Point Thoroughbreds and 3C Stable for $2,000,000.  She races for Woodford and West Point in partnership with Chris Larson and is conditioned by Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey.

Here’s the TDN account of the race:
