Kinza, an impressive 3-for-3 with two victories in prestigious stakes races under the guidance of renowned trainer Bob Baffert, is poised to further enhance her already impressive track record as the highly anticipated frontrunner in Saturday's G2, $300,000 Santa Anita Oaks, covering a distance of 1 1/16 miles at the esteemed Santa Anita racecourse.
Under the ownership of Michael Lund Petersen, Kinza has achieved an impressive record with three victories, showcasing her exceptional talent by winning with a remarkable margin of 14 ½ lengths in total. The Carpe Diem filly triumphed in her first race with an impressive lead of 7 ½ lengths, showcasing her exceptional talent over a distance of six furlongs at Santa Anita on December 29. She then continued her winning streak by seizing the G3 Las Virgenes title when challenged with a mile-long race on February 10. She emerged victorious in the Las Virgenes, triumphing by a comfortable margin of two lengths ahead of the second-place finisher, Kopion, who will also be competing in the upcoming Santa Anita Oaks.
Recently, Kinza dominated the competition, leading from start to finish in the G3 Santa Ysabel at 1 1/16 on March 9, winning by a significant margin of five lengths. Last year, Kinza made a remarkable purchase at an auction for $350,000.
