8 The Diana (GI)
1 1/8thm Turf $500.00 Four Year Olds & Up F&M
Maletto has a true warrior mare in Poetic Panther and she adds to her lore with a hard fought win in The Diana at SAR on Saturday. Changing tactics back to an off the pace style she takes the win by a half-length while covering the mile and a eighth in 1:45.43 over the Firm SAR turf as the 7/2 second choice. This is her second win on the 2025 season and the twelfth of her career as she has now earned $2,436.520 from thirty trips to the starting gate.
65/1 outsider Reorganize had the lead in the lane and held on for the runner-up spot, a half length better than Painville in third, while post-time favorite Lady Hilltopper was a neck back in fourth. Six lengths covered the field of nine and there were no scratches.
