   10   SA   Royal Heroine Stakes (GII)

 $200.000          4yo&Up F&M          1m Turf      123lbs +penalties

Three wins in her last four races… all graded wins… pretty easy to say that Maletto has Always Condottieri on her toes right about now.  The Royal Heroine is another feather in that barns cap as the 5yo mare got home by a quarter length, stopping the clock at 1:33.15.  The SA Turf was listed as Firm.  Mon Dieu certainly made a race of it, closing quickly to grab the second spot.  It was another half-length back to 34/1 shot Omnibus in third and High Return grabbed the minor money.  Only two lengths covered the field of five.
