'Going' For Five in a Row

Going Global | Benoit

The streaking Going Global (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) looks to make it five straight wins in Saturday's GIII Honeymoon S. at Santa Anita.

A handicap winner at Dundalk in November 2020, Going Global is a perfect three-for-three at a variety of distances on these shores for Phil D'Amato, including the six-furlong GIII Sweet Life S. Feb. 14, the one-mile China Doll S. Mar. 6 and the GIII Providencia S. going 1 1/8 miles last time Apr. 3.

“Going Global proved last time a mile and an eighth wasn't a problem,” D'Amato said. “I gave her a bit of a freshening after three stakes wins in a row so I could have her ready for this race going into Del Mar.”

Madone (Vancouver {Aus}) kicked off her sophomore campaign with a win in the GIII Senorita S. May 1. A winner of her first three starts, including the Surfer Girl S. last fall, the lone blemish on her record is an eighth-place finish in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland Nov. 6.
