Default Flashy Maiden Wins?
What is the most impressive maiden win you have witnessed?

Historically speaking, I'm sure it wouldn't rank among the most impressive, but Big Brown's was the best I've seen.

First one that comes to mind was Bag. I'm sure I'd come up with others.

Medaglia d'Oro. Broke poorly from the outside (10 hole, I believe) going 6 panels and rushed up. Won by daylight.

He didn't even win his debut.

He was 2nd at Turfway.

He probably beat nothing, but Lost in the Fog had an impressive debut.

Wasn't the thread about impressive Mdn wins? If not I will think of some debut winners.

Question was about maiden wins, not debut race.

The horse that won at GP on turf trained by Mott and ridden by Garcia was probably the best Mdn win I remember this year. Name anyone?

Summer Colony broke her maiden with a 32.75 length win and a triple digit Beyer.

It was the all-time most impressive maiden win by a horse who had already failed in 7 or more maiden attempts.

Good memory, then he ran a hell of a race at SA 1st time for Frankel off the purchase. Pretty damn nice horse!

Yeah - I bet him that day - he paid $19 to win going 1st time Frankel and getting a huge weight break from Siphonic. He beat a River Downs horse by 2.5 lengths ... and the River Downs horse was 3/1.

The San Felipe, that was an interesting race, he looked beat at the top of the stretch but rallied to win. I know you will get this but most will be surprised who rode him that day, not the usual rider associated with Frankel.

I remember Lure being pretty mediocre until Shug tried him on turf.
