After posting a second and three thirds in her first four career starts, Sarah Melissa broke her maiden by 2 1/4 lengths at Turfway Park on Oct. 2. The 3-year-old Kentucky-bred filly came from sixth place under John McKee, ranged up five wide on the turn, put the leader away a furlong out and drew off to win with authority in 1:18.51.
