7th-Churchill Downs, $125,477, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($100,000), 11-1, 2yo, f, 7f, 1:23.77, ft, 5 1/2 lengths.
MUHIMMA (f, 2, Munnings–Princesa Carolina {SW & GISP, $453,619}, by Tapit) issued a sparkling debut with a 7 1/2-length statement at Churchill Downs Sept. 20 and she was stamped a 'TDN Rising Star' for her effort. Ready for the next level and well-backed at 31 cents on the dollar here, the filly tracked just off of a double-digit longshot up the backstretch. When the tap was given, the gray responded around the far turn, took the lead and cruised home a no-doubt winner by 5 1/2 lengths over GSP Liam in the Dust (Liam's Map). The second foal for her dam, Muhimma has a pair of younger half-brothers both by Gun Runner. Princesa Carolina was sent back to that sire for 2025. The 'Rising Star' counts MGISW Pure Clan as her second dam. Sales History: $700,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $141,960.
