Calipha

The daughter of Two Punch is best remembered for posting a two-length score over the favorite, Bunting, in the mile and an eighth Grade II $200,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on May 20, 1994.

[1] Mid-May was a successful time of year for Calipha's owner, Nancy Bayard, and eventual Hall of Fame trainer, Bud Delp, who ran the filly in the de facto second jewel of the filly Triple Crown in the Grade II $200,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes.

The gray filly did this in wire-to-wire fashion as she broke well and established the lead running into the clubhouse turn.

Calipha also won the inaugural running of the Caesar's Wish Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in April 1994, beating Dance a Go Go and Simoom over the mile and a sixteenth.

Later in the summer of 1994, Calipha won the Reeve Schley, Jr. Stakes at Monmouth Park, New Jersey beating her Black-Eyed Susan rival Golden Braids.
