One of the heaviest favorites of the two-day Breeders' Cup World Championships, 4-5 chance Tamara disappointed when finishing seventh in the NetJets Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita on Friday.
Owner/breeder Spendthrift Farm reported on social media Monday that the 2-year-old daughter of Hall of Famer Beholder exited the race with a fracture to the splint bone in her left hind limb. The injury will not require surgery, but the filly will need time to heal.
“She will get some much deserved rest as she recovers,” the Spendthrift Farm post reads.”
Trained like her famous dam by Richard Mandella, Tamara won on debut at Del Mar and then earned her place in the Juvenile Fillies with a dominant 6 3/4-length victory in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante.
Beholder is a four-time Eclipse Award winner who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022. She won Breeders' Cup Races in 2012 (Juvenile Fillies), 2013 (Distaff), and 2016 (Distaff), and earned $6,156,600 from 18 wins in her career.
