In her 6-year-old debut, Santa Monica finished second by a length in the Grade 3 La Prevoyante Stakes at Gulfstream park in January. She regained her winning stride in her next start when rallying powerfully late to win the Grade 3 Orchid Stakes by a nose in the final strides. Santa Monica kept her streak going in the Grade 2 Sheepshead Bay Stakes, running past the leaders at the top of the stretch and maintaining a determined lead to cross the finish line well ahead of her foes.
