Maid at Arms

In May, owner Samuel Riddle and trainer George Conway decided to run Maid At Arms in the de facto second jewel of the filly Triple Crown, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (it was called the Pimlico Oaks at the time).

Maid at Arms captured the seventh running of the $7,500 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, beating the seven other three year-old fillies over the course of a mile and a sixteenth.

Under 113 pounds and with jockey Albert Johnson in the saddle, she ran the distance in 1:46 flat over a fast track, winning by four lengths.

Late in August 1925, she shipped to Saratoga Race Course and won the historic Alabama Stakes.

In September, she took on males again and placed second in the Jerome Handicap against one of the fillies she beat in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, Primrose.
