She led all the way for Jamie Kah and cruised home to win by two and a half lengths.
A $320,000 Magic Millions purchase for Belmont Bloodstock from the Lime Country Thoroughbreds draft, La Mexicana runs for Ricky Surace’s B2B Thoroughbreds.
Bred in Victoria by Makybe, La Mexicana is the second winner from stakes-wining Domesday mare Cailin Miss, who has a yearling colt by All Too Hard and a weanling filly by Russian Revolution.
