Super Corredora returns to training after spring setbacks at Santa Anita

Super Corredora has returned to training at Santa Anita after a 90-day freshening, a reset that gives John Sadler’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies winner a chance to salvage a sophomore campaign that never got rolling in the spring.

The daughter of Gun Runner opened 2026 with two off-the-board finishes in Kentucky Oaks prep races, then was scratched from the Grade 2 Santa Anita Oaks on March 20 after getting sick and spiking a fever. That setback sent her out of the spring path to the Santa Anita Oaks on April 4 and the Kentucky Oaks on May 1, leaving her with only two starts this year and a 0-for-2 record. On the West Point Thoroughbreds page, her 2026 line shows 2 starts, 0 wins, 0 places and 0 shows, with $6,500 earned.

The return matters because Super Corredora’s juvenile profile still carries real weight. She was voted champion 2-year-old filly and capped that season by winning the 2025 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar by three-quarters of a length in 1:43.71 for 1 1/16 miles. Hector Berrios got his first Breeders’ Cup victory in the race, and Sadler collected his fourth. Super Corredora set the pace through :22.42 and :45.63, and she was still a maiden at the start of October before her rise into elite company later that month.

Her resume before the Breeders’ Cup hinted at that upside. She had won a one-mile maiden special weight at Santa Anita by 8 1/2 lengths just 20 days earlier, a sharp enough performance to justify the $400,000 Keeneland September investment made by her owners, West Point Thoroughbreds, Spartan Equine Racing, Robert C. Gardiner and Michael W. Olszewski. Her lifetime ledger now stands at 6 starts, 2 wins and 1 second, with $1,100,100 in earnings.

Sadler has not committed to a firm fall target, but the timing gives Super Corredora a path back toward the West Coast stakes picture if she progresses normally. Santa Anita and Del Mar remain the key stages for 3-year-old fillies in this region, and a healthy return would put last year’s top juvenile filly back into the conversation for major summer and fall races after a spring that only raised the stakes for her comeback.
