  • On the outside, Florida-bred Thoroughbred Queen Maxima and jockey Juan Hernandez overtake fellow Florida-bred Spirited Boss, guided by jockey Mike Smith, to win the 2026 Mizdirection Stakes at Santa Anita. (Photo: ©Benoit) The photo of the two horses and jockeys is overlaid by a blue gradient, shadowing the competition that follows the mares on the left side of the photo, and the right edge of the image. Queen Maxima and Hernandez are in full color, while Spirited Boss and Smith are slightly obscurred by the blue gradient. Beneath the photo, a gradient light blue to dark blue banner, edged in an orange to yellow frame, is featured. The banner reads, “Fla-bred Queen Maxima Earned $4,000 in FTBOA Export Incentives.” Queen Maxima’s hooves slightly overlap the banner.

Together, they’re all holding fishing poles, dangling money over the lake to encourage fish to bite. In the background, Florida palm trees and a sailboat on the horizon frame the image. The illustration was featured on the cover of the April/May 2025 edition of “The Florida Horse,” whose title is displayed in the top lefthand corner.
