Following a seven and three-quarter-length victory in her first career Stakes victory last out in the Tah Dah Stakes, Midshipman's two-year-old daughter, Kontiki, made it two added-money victories in a row with a 10-length win in the Miss Ohio Stakes on August 14. She's now three for four in her career.
Breaking just behind the initial pacesetter, the bay juvenile quickly caught up and passed that one nearing the final turn and and drew off down the stretch for an impressive win. She's won her last three starts by a combined 27 lengths!
