Bio
Irish-bred Vina Arana began her racing career in her native country during 2023 and 2024, making four starts before being relocated to the U.S. in the summer. She made a strong first impression, winning her first domestic start, a one-mile turf maiden race, by 1 ¼ lengths at Saratoga in August 2024.

She made a strong first impression, winning her first domestic start, a one-mile turf maiden race, by 1 ¼ lengths at Saratoga in August 2024.
The Make Believe mare then won one of three starts in 2025 and at age 5 in 2026 held her own against stakes company in Kentucky, finishing fifth and third in graded events at Churchill Downs. For her fifth start of 2026, Vina Arana shipped to Woodbine for the Grade 2 Nassau Stakes July 19, and she rallied in the turn and drew clear to an impressive four-length win under Adam Beschizza.
The Jack Sisterson trainee is out of the winning Teofilo mare Sunset Dazzle.
