ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 16, 2014) — California-bred multiple graded stakes winner Teddy’s Promise is on course as she prepares for her final race, the $200,000 Grade II Santa Monica Stakes Jan. 25.
“That’s her swan song,” trainer Ron Ellis said. “She’ll be bred to Smart Strike (who stands at Lane’s End for $100,000). If she can win the Santa Monica, it will put her over a million dollars (in earnings), so that would be pretty neat.”
Teddy’s Promise is by Salt Lake, out of the Capote mare Braids and Beads and was bred by owners Ted and Judy Nichols. She has 11 wins in 28 starts and earnings of $882,397.
