Eda

After two defeats in graded stakes company, Eda dropped to listed stakes for the Anokia Stakes at Santa Anita Park on Oct. 24, 2021. Sent off as the 1-5 favorite, she won handily, cruising under the line a 2 1/4-length winner.

Next out, Eda entered the Desi Arnaz Stakes at Del Mar on Nov. 13. She was once again the 1-5 choice and won by 4 1/4 lengths after rating off the early pace. She won her first graded stakes race on Dec. 4, when she won the Grade 1 Starlet Stakes at Los Alamitos.

Eda made her first and only start as a 3-year-old in the Grade 3 Santa Ysabel Stakes March 6, 2022 at Santa Anita Park, where set the pace and held on to defeat favored stablemate Under the Stars by a half-length.

Eda did not return to the races until April 28, 2023 when she was victorious in a 6 1/2-furlong allowance race at Santa Anita. She then parlayed that success into yet another win in her next start, which came back against stakes company in the Grade 2 $200,000 Great Lady M Stakes at Los Alamitos on July 4. Sent off as the 1.90-1 favorite in a nine-horse field in the Great Lady M, Eda battled back and forth for the lead throughout and was able to hold on to win by a neck at the finish in a winning 6 1/2-furlong time of 1:15.06 on a fast track. The win was the sixth straight victory for Eda in an unbeaten streak that expends back to Oct. 2, 2021.

Eda made her next start in the Grade 3 Rancho Bernardo Handicap Aug. 27 at Del Mar. She extended her winning streak to seven with a comfortable 1 ½-length win as the 4-5 favorite, leading jockey Juan Hernandez to say afterwards, “I want to ride ones like this all the time.”

The filly sold for $550,000 at the Ocala Breeders' Sale for 2-Year-Olds in Training in March 2021. She is trained by Bob Baffert.
