Stopshoppingmaria profiled on New York Watch

"We expected (this kind of performance) in (Stopshoppingmaria's) first start,

but she stumbled and it took her out of her element," Pletcher said.

If Stopshoppingmaria quickly bounces back from her maiden victory, Pletcher

will consider running the dark bay in the Spinaway S. (G1) at Saratoga on

September 4.

"She obviously put herself in a position to look at the Spinaway," Pletcher

said. "She's in good shape. We'll look at all our options."

The Spinaway could serve as a rematch of the July 22 maiden race, with My

Miss Aurelia also under consideration for the seven-furlong event.

Pinhooked for $50,000 as a Keeneland September yearling, Stopshoppingmaria

was resold at the OBS March Selected Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training, where

she was acquired by Pletcher on behalf of Mike Repole for $100,000.

Bred in Kentucky by Mueller Farms, Stopshoppingmaria is out of Skybox (Spend

a Buck), who as a juvenile finished second in a minor stakes at the Meadowlands.

She has produced three horses with black type, including Sand Ridge (Known

Fact), who won five stakes at Prairie Meadows and placed in a pair of Grade 3

events, and Dootsie (Dixieland Band), a stakes winner at Monmouth Park.

Stopshoppingmaria's second dam, stakes winner A Status Symbol (Exclusive

Native), produced Ball Chairman (Secretariat), the dam of Canadian champion turf

horse Perfect Soul (Ire) (Sadler's Wells). Also descending from A Status Symbol

is Grade 1 winner and hot freshman sire Flashy Bull (Holy Bull).

Stopshoppingmaria is the third filly Repole has named after his wife's

shopping habits, following in the footsteps of No Shopping Maria (Dream Run) and

Stopspendingmaria (Montbrook).
