Augustin Stable's Ellis Park Turf Stakes winner Mouffy is set to make her debut at Turfway Park, where she'll face nine fillies and mares in next Saturday's 35th running of the $125,000 My Charmer Stakes.
Run at 1 1/16 miles, the My Charmer Stakes will go as Race 7 on the nine-race program with a post time of 8:55 p.m. (ET). First post is 5:55 p.m.
In collaboration with Claiborne Farm, the My Charmer Stakes is the second of a three-race 'Make Your Mare' series, which will award fillies and mares credits toward a future stallion paring upon their retirement. The Top 3 finishers will receive $10,000, $5,000 and $2,500 in credits, applicable until the end of the 2025 breeding season. Claiborne Credits are exclusive to the top 3 and can be transferred with the horse in case of an ownership change.
The ultra-consistent Mouffy recorded her lone stakes victory two starts ago when she defeated eight rivals in the Ellis Park Turf Stakes. Six weeks later trainer Jonathan Thomas shipped the daughter of Uncle Mo to Canada where she was made the 2-1 favorite in the Ontario Matron Stakes (G3) at Woodbine but finished fourth, beaten just a length, to Millie Girl. Jockey Tyler Conner will ride the four-time winner from post No. 8.
Another accomplished filly that entered the My Charmer is Scott Mawaka's Grade 3-placed Catiche. Trained by Mike Stidham, Catiche ran one of her best efforts on her 10-race resume at Turfway Park when she finished in a dead heat for second in the 2022 Bourbonette Oaks behind longshot winner Candy Raid. Jockey Gerardo Corrales will pilot Catiche in the My Charmer out of post 3.
The first race in the Make Your Mare series was the Holiday Inaugural, won by favorite Marissa's Lady, a multiple stakes-winning daughter of Violence. B G Warrior was second, and Bling was third.
