Karmageddon, the longest shot on the board among eight 3-year-old fillies, stunned 4-5 favorite Simple Words by pulling away in the stretch to score a major surprise in Saturday’s $75,000 Princeton Stakes at Monmouth Park.
Ridden for the first time by Dale Beckner, Karmageddon ($60.40) sat 3 1/2 lengths off the half-mile pace set by Simple Words, but had cut the deficit to a length with a furlong remaining and closed willingly to prevail by 3 1/4 lengths while completing six furlongs in 1:09.64.
