A solid second in the Grade I Beholder Mile on March 5, Phil D’Amato’s venerable 6-year-old mare Miss Bigly rates top billing among a field of nine older fillies and mares going a mile and one eighth in Saturday’s Grade II, $200,000 Santa Margarita Stakes at Santa Anita.

A 1 ¼ length winner of the Grade III Bayakoa Stakes going a mile and one sixteenth two starts back at Oaklawn Park on Feb. 12, Miss Bigly, a Kentucky-bred mare by Gemologist out of the Citidancer mare Miss Puzzle, has won four out of her 12 starts with D’Amato.

With a win, a second and two thirds from four Santa Anita starts, Miss Bigly was a solid second in her only try at a mile and one eighth, that coming in an ungraded stakes at Thistledown seven starts back on June 26, 2021.

Owned by Agave Racing Stable, Living the Dream Stables, LLC and Rockin Robin Racing Stables, Miss Bigly, in search of her second career graded stakes win, is 27-8-5-8 with earnings of $741,242.
