Stopchargingmaria

On October 3 Stopchargingmaria won the Grade III Tempted Stakes run at one mile at Aqueduct Racetrack.

After five starts in four months, Pletcher decided to give Stopchargingmaria some time off and freshened her during the winter for a three-month break.

On February 22, 2014, she ran in the Grade II Davona Dale Stakes at Gulfstream Park and finished fifth behind her stablemate Onlyforyou.

On April 5 she finished fourth to Sugar Shock in the Fantasy Stakes at a mile and one sixteenth at Oaklawn Park Race Track.

On May 16, 2014, trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Mike Repole decided to ship Stopchargingmaria to Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, to run in the second jewel of the de facto Filly Triple Crown, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes.

Under hand urging by jockey Javier Castellano, she engaged frontrunning Vero Amore at the top of the lane and dueled outside of the leader throughout the stretch.

Stopchargingmaria stumbled out of the gate and was fanned four wide on the final turn but finished first, driving home to win by four lengths.

Pletcher stated that he felt the long layoff after the Personal Ensign was a major factor in her success, as "she runs her best races sometimes when she's fresh.
