June 1, 2025 — Making her first start since September, Super Shine went to the lead under Hector Berrios and fended off a late challenge from odds-on favorite Chismosa to earn her first stakes win in Sunday’s $100,000 Desert Stormer Stakes for fillies and mares going six furlongs at Santa Anita.
“We were originally putting her in here to just kind of give her a race and get her ready for Del Mar,” D’Amato said. “I’ve got to give credit to my crew at Los Alamitos…they all work really hard and did a lot of gate work with her. She broke right on top today and didn’t look back. She is a nice quality filly and hopefully we will have some fun with her the rest of the year.”
