Maxim Rate likely done racing, will be sold at Keeneland November
Benoit Photo Maxim Rate wins the Gamely on Monday at Santa Anita for her first Grade 1 victory.
Grade 1 winner Maxim Rate is scheduled to be sold at the November breeding stock sale at Keeneland and is likely to have run her last race, trainer Simon Callaghan said Friday.
Maxim Rate has won 6 of 18 starts and earned $625,185 for Slam Dunk Racing, who has raced the 5-year-old mare throughout her career and later added partners in James Branham and Stable Currency LLC.
By Exchange Rate, Maxim Rate won the Grade 1 Gamely Stakes at 1 1/8 miles at Santa Anita in May, the most recent of her four stakes wins.
Maxim Rate was fifth of seven in the Grade 2 John Mabee Stakes on Sept. 4 at Del Mar. Callaghan said Maxim Rate sells as a broodmare prospect.
