Madone | Benoit

Kaleem Shah’s Madone (f, 2, Vancouver {Aus}-Indian Love Call, by Cherokee Run) made it a perfect three-for-three with a late-charging victory in the Surfer Girl S. at Santa Anita Sunday. Made the even-money favorite off of two wins going a mile over the Del Mar lawn, the dark bay filly settled well off a quick pace. She made rapid progress nearing the lane and pounced to the lead at midstretch before gamely holding off Tetragonal (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) who came from last to just miss. The time for the mile was 1:34.83.
Purchased for $125,000 at this year’s OBS March sale, Madone opened her career with a one-length victory over the Del Mar lawn July 31 and she closed late to add the Sept. 6 Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf S. last time out. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0. O-Kaleem Shah.
