Seeyouinabit says goodbye to field in $200,000 Lady Fog Horn

at Horseshoe Indianapolis

 

SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (Saturday, October 25, 2025) – Seeyouinabit and Marcelino Pedroza Jr. placed themselves as the horse to catch in the sixth running of the $200,000 Lady Fog Horn to kick off the premier racing portion of Indiana Champions Day Saturday, October 25 at Horseshoe Indianapolis. The duo used early speed and then had a late kick to polish off the victory for their first premier title.

Seeyouinabit began from post three in the seven-filly field and got the jump on her opponents heading into the first turn of the one mile, 70 yard event. She had company during the first half of the race with Total Luna Eclipse and Mitchell Murrill sitting to their outside. The field remained close together heading into the final turn.

Coming out of the turn, Seeyouinabit picked up the tempo and began inching away from her opponents. Spooky Ridge and Joe Ramos came from off the pace and split horses midway through the stretch in an effort to catch her, but in the end, Seeyouinabit was a winner by one and three-quarter lengths. Spooky Ridge held down second over Innisfree Lass and Alberto Burgos, who also closed in late for third.

Seeyouinabit was a bit of a surprise, paying $47.80 for the win. The homebred daughter of Bahjatty is owned by Genaro Garcia’s Southwest Racing Stable and Bruce and Lori Murphy. Bruce and Lori bred the chestnut filly, who is out of their mare Strapless. It was her third career win in her 11th career start and she more than doubled her career bankroll to more than $185,000. Garcia trains the filly who is now the top performer for Bahjatty who has been a sire in Indiana for the past five years.

“She (Seeyouinabit) is  a really nice filly and since her two year-old season, she’s developed physically and mentally,” noted Garcia. “I’ve been training for Bruce for over 12 years. He is a great guy and the owners are very supportive. And Marcelino is a very good rider. He’s one of my favorites and continues to ride very well for me.”

“That filly (Seeyouinabit), she just tries and tries,” said Bruce, who owns and operates Murphy Trailer Sales in Crawfordsville, Ind. “She isn’t great big, but she has a big heart. This Indiana racing program is the best. I hope more people get interested in Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing, because it’s a great program and so much fun to be involved in.”

For Pedroza Jr., a three-time leading rider at Horseshoe Indianapolis, it was his first time aboard the filly. He asked Garcia before the race if he cared if Pedroza went to the lead.

“I asked Genaro (Garcia) in the paddock if I could go to the front,” noted Pedroza, a native of Panama. “He said ‘you do what you think is best. I haven’t told you how to ride. I leave that up to you.’ I love to ride for trainers like that who allow me to make the best decision during a race. This filly was on her toes in the post parade, and she broke out of there with some speed, so I decided to go to the front.”

The Lady Fog Horn is named in honor of former two-time Horse of the Year Lady Fog Horn, who was trained by Tony Granitz. She completed her career with more than $820,000 on her card, and she is still the richest Indiana sired mare in history. She also still holds the record for most premier racing wins in one season at four victories.

The 23rd season of live Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing runs through Thursday, Nov. 13. For more information on racing at Horseshoe Indianapolis, visit www.caesars.com/horseshoe-indianapolis/racing or find details on social media @HSIndyRacing.
