Bio
After an unplaced finish in her career debut, Mean Mary was switched to the turf and flourished. She won her second start in October 2019 at Keeneland by 3 ¼ lengths and followed with a runner-up finish in an allowance race in November at Aqueduct. The Scat Daddy filly closed her 3-year-old season with a win in a 1 1/8-mile allowance-optional claiming race Dec. 22, 2019 at Gulfstream Park.

Mean Mary made her stakes debut in the Grade 3 La Prevoyante Stakes Jan. 25 at Gulfstream and posted a dominant, front-running five-length victory. She followed with a front-running win in the Grade 3 Orchid Stakes Presented by Rood and Riddle March 28 at Gulfstream.
Mean Mary shipped north to trained Graham Motion's Fair Hill base and made her next start in the Grade 2 New York Stakes June 27 at Belmont Park. Permitted again to dictate her own terms on the lead, Mean Mary overwhelmed five opponents in a front-running 5 1/4-length romp. She followed with a runner-up finish by a neck to Rushing Fall in the Grade 1 Diana Stakes Aug. 23 at Saratoga Race Course before closing her 4-year-old season with an unplaced finish in the Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf Nov. 7 at Keeneland.
Following an extended layoff of six months, Mean Mary returned to competition in the Grade 3 Gallorette Stakes May 15 at Pimlico and set an easy pace before holding off the late rush of Vigilantes Way to prevail by a half-length.
In her next start after the Gallorette, Mean Mary contested the Grade 2 New York Stakes June 4 – a race she won in 2020 – as part of the Belmont Stakes Festival. A torrential downpour delayed the start of the Grade 2, 1 ¼-mile race and Belmont’s turf course was downgraded to yielding, a level of wetness that Mean Mary had never raced over before. She broke very sharply, however, and shot clear of the field to set a measured pace. Regular rider Luis Saez kept her to task in the stretch, and she was all out to hold off a late charge from European shipper Thundering Nights to score a repeat win by a nose in the New York Stakes.
Mean Mary was produced by the Grade 1-winning Dynaformer mare Karlovy Vary.
