  • Florida-bred Spirited Boss and Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith gallop past inside-rail competition Amorita and fellow Florida-bred Queen Maxima (out of frame) to wire the 2026  Grade 3, $100,500 Monrovia Stakes presented by Ketel One at Santa Anita Park. (Photo: ©Benoit) Beneath the photo, a light blue to dark blue gradient stretches across the width, outlined in an orange to yellow faded frame. The text in the frame reads, “Fla-Bred Spirited Boss Earned $5,000 in FTBOA Export Incentives.” All the text is sans serif, all capitalized in bright orange, except for “$5,000” which is in a white shadowed script.

The logos for the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and Thoroughbred Charities of America are centered towards the top of the photo, which fades to white under the title text. Photo credit for the paddock goes to Churchill Downs Racetrack.
