Going Global heads Satuday’s Honeymoon Stakes

At 0h01, on May 22, 2021 By SANTA ANITA

Perfect in three local stakes assignments, trainer Phil D’Amato’s streaking Irish-bred Going Global bids for her fourth consecutive turf stakes victory as she heads a field of seven sophomore fillies going a mile and one eighth on grass in Saturday’s Grade III, $100,000 Honeymoon Stakes at Santa Anita.

Going Global’s primary opposition should come from Simon Callaghan’s recent Grade III winner Madone and Richard Mandella’s Golden, who was a solid second to Madone here in the Grade III Senorita Stakes on May 1.

With Flavien Prat engaged to ride her for the fourth consecutive time on Saturday, Going Global, who is owned by CYBT, Michael Dubb, Saul Gervitz, Michael Nentwig and Ray Pagano, will be a short price to improve upon an overall mark of 7-4-0-0 and earnings of $188,792.
