Got Lucky romps in Molly Pitcher

Got Lucky earned her first stakes victory in this spot, adding it to a

13-4-5-0 resume that also includes placings in the Demoiselle S. (G2), Gazelle

S. (G2), Rachel Alexandra S. (G3) and the aforementioned Monmouth Beach S. Thus

far the Kentucky-bred miss has banked $451,340 lifetime.

"I knew Stiffed would be coming to the outside again," Lopez said. "This time

the pace was a little easier for us. We were able to sit comfortably just off

the pace along the backstretch. She wanted to go a little early, but I had to

hold her back. Once we were in the clear I let her go, she sprinted away

perfectly."

Got Lucky is the only registered stakes winner out of Malka (Deputy

Minister), who is herself out of Grade 2-placed stakes winner Get Lucky (Mr.

Prospector).

Malka counts among her half-siblings Grade 1-winning sire Girolamo (A.P.

Indy) and Grade 2 queen Daydreaming (A.P. Indy) as well as the dams of 2010

Kentucky Derby (G1) hero Super Saver (Maria's Mon) and Grade 1-winning

millionaire Bluegrass Cat (Storm Cat). Daydreaming is herself the dam of Grade

1-scoring millionaire Imagining (Giant's Causeway).

Got Lucky's third dam is Grade 1 vixen Dance Number (Northern Dancer), who

would go on in the breeding shed to produce champion Rhythm, a full brother to

Get Lucky. Her fourth dam is champion and blue-hen mare Numbered Account (Buckpasser),

and this stellar female family also includes dual Grade 1 victor and leading

sire Private Account (Damascus) as well as Group 2-placed listed winner and sire

Mutakddim (Seeking the Gold).
