Maracuja May Target Alabama Next After CCA Oaks Win Sponsored by:
Maracuja and her connections in the winner s circle after the Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga.
The flower blanket outside of trainer Rob Atras barn Sunday morning served as a welcome reminder of what Maracuja accomplished the day before, when the sophomore filly outdueled 1-5 favorite Malathaat in deep stretch to win the $500,000 Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
Beach Haven Thoroughbreds Maracuja earned a 96 Beyer Speed Figure for her first stakes win, which came when she was the longest shot on the board in the four-horse field at 14-1. It also marked the first career Grade 1 win for Atras, who has been on his own as a trainer since 2009.
