Reigning Horse of the Year, Havre de Grace was victorious in
her first start of the year, the $150,000 New Orleans Ladies Stakes. She broke smoothly from post position 2 and
quickly settled into 3rd, behind Sterling Madame and Juanita. Havre
de Grace made her move with three furlongs to the wire, coming up next to
Juanita and Sterling Madame. Havre de Grace swung wide around the turn and
Juanita came up to challenge her, but the outmatched Juanita soon dropped
behind as Havre de Grace charged the wire. Her amazing 2011 season, highlighted
by a victory over males in the Woodward Stakes, ended with the title of Horse
of the Year and hopefully, her effortless 4 ½ length victory over four rivals
is just a glimpse of what we will see from this fantastic mare in the months to
come.
