She did it again. Michael Lund Petersen’s Adare Manor who was coming off wins in the GI Apple Blossom Handicap and GII Santa Margarita Stakes, made it three straight in winning the GI Clement L. Hirsch Stakes at Del Mar for the second year in a row. She earned a ‘Win and You’re In’ fees-paid berth to the GI Breeders’ Cup Distaff, which will be contested over this same surface in three months.

Adare Manor sold at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale as a short yearling to Walmac Farms and Gary Board for $180,000 before Donato Lanni picked her up at OBS as a 2-year-old the next year for $375,000.
