Saratoga Lilly led from start to finish on Sunday in the second race at Monmouth Park to become the first career winner for graded stakes-placed winner Mo Mon.

Saratoga Lilly, who is out of the winning My Prince Charming mare Saratoga Luck, won the five-furlong maiden special weight race in :59.53 on a track rated as fast for trainer Chuck Spina, who owns Saratoga Lilly in partnership with P. Damiano and J. Lomonaco.

Mo Mon, a 10-year-old by Maria’s Mon out of the Key to the Mint mare Sewing Lady, stood the 2008 season for $2,500 at Four Winds Farm in Clarksburg, New Jersey. He has 18 two-year-olds in his first crop.

Bred by Lucy G. Bassett in Kentucky, Mo Mon recorded two wins in 21 starts and placed in five stakes races. He earned $197,720 in a five-year racing career. Mo Mon’s three-year-old season in 2001 was his most lucrative as he earned both of his wins and finished third in the El Camino Real Derby (G3) at Golden Gate Fields.
