Sadler bullish on Breeders' Cup winner Super Corredora
:quality(75))
As good as Super Corredora was in 2025, her trainer believes she will be even better in 2026.
John Sadler is already looking forward to next season with the Gun Runner filly, who wired the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar.
“We’re going to save [Super Corredora] for next year,” Sadler said this week at his Santa Anita base. “I think she has a chance to be better next year. She’s not a big filly, and if you look how much she improved, I really think we’re in a great spot.”
Super Corredora began her career in sprints, finishing fifth and second, then blossomed when she stretched out. She won a maiden route by more than eight lengths at Santa Anita, and 20 days later wired the BC Juvenile Fillies.
“She came back on three weeks’ and didn’t regress,” Sadler said.
In fact, her figures improved each subsequent start at longer distances. That does not always happen. Sprinters get exposed when they stretch out. Super Corredora is no sprinter.
Sadler plans to keep Super Corredora stabled at Santa Anita for light training, with no workouts. The first dirt route stakes of winter for 3-year-old fillies typically is the one-mile, Grade 3 Las Virgenes in early February. Super Corredora is owned by a partnership that includes Spartan Equine Racing, West Point Thoroughbreds, Robert Gardiner, and Michael Olszewski.
