Queen Maxima kicked into high gear at the top of the stretch to run down front-runners Princess Moche (Per) and Amorita then held off a fast-closing Spirited Boss to land a Florida-bred exacta in the $102,000 Mizdirection (Listed) at Santa Anita Saturday. Running off just two-weeks rest after finishing fourth in her title defense in the Grade 2 Unbridled Sidney presented by TwinSpires at Churchill Downs on May 1, Queen Maxima topped nine fillies and mares, 4-years-old and older, going six-and-a-half furlongs on the downhill turf course.
