Sultana

Sultana began her career as a 4-year-old and won her career debut outing on May 31, 2025, at Woodbine. The daughter of 2017 Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming followed that up with a second win in her fourth lifetime start in an allowance optional claiming race at Woodbine on Sept. 14.

Sultana became a stakes winner for the first time with a victory in the Grade 3 $180,000 Maple Leaf Stakes going 1 1/4 miles on the all-weather track at Woodbine on Nov. 8, 2025. She won with a last-to-first rally in a seven-horse field to get up in time to win by a head.

The bay Always Dreaming mare was sent to Gulfstream Park for her 5-year-old debut and faced a tough field in the March 38 Orchid Stakes held at 1 ½ miles. Under a perfect ride by Junior Alvarado, she rallied late to get up by a neck and tally her second consecutive stakes victory.

In a repeat of her win in the same race in 2025, Sultana was the winner of the $175,000 Grade 3 Maple Leaf Stakes going 1 1/4 miles on the all-weather surface at Woodbine again on Nov. 7, 2026. Sultana topped a seven-horse field by a length as the 1.35-1 favorite.
