4th-Parx Racing, $46,000, Msw, 6-18, 3yo/up, f/m, 7 1/2fT, 1:34.11, fm.
MUTABAAHYIA (f, 3, Animal Kingdom–Thaminah, by Danzig), sent off at 3-1, was away a step slowly and trailed the strung-out field through moderate splits. The chestnut filly began to make rapid progress turning for home and surged down the lane with an inside run en route to a 1 1/2-length victory. Persian Polly (E Dubai) was second and favorite Beach Diva (Malibu Moon) was third. The winner's dam Thaminah is a half-sister to the dam of GI Breeders' Cup F/M Turf winner Lahudood (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}). Mutabaahyia's third dam is Height of Fashion (Fr) (Bustino {GB}), who produced G1 Epsom Derby winner Nashwan (Blushing Groom {Fr}), as well as group winners Alwasmi (Northern Dancer) and Unfuwain (Northern Dancer) and multiple Group 1 winner Nayef (Gulch). Thaminah produced a filly by New Approach (Ire) in 2017. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $27,000.
