Queen Maxima, the 2025 Florida-bred Champion Turf Female, returns after a trip to Kentucky and a short break of just two weeks in Saturday’s $100,000 Mizdirection at Santa Anita Saturday. Owned by Michele Arthur’s Dutch Girl Holdings and Ruben Islas’ Irving Ventures, both of San Diego, Queen Maxima joins Florida-breds Sprited Boss and Rosie Jeeks in the field of nine fillies and mares set to contend six-and-a-half furlongs on the downhill turf course.
