About
Striking Lady is a 3yo dark bay/brown mare from the United States trained by Ricardo Bailey. She is by the stallion Air Strike out of the dam Muttak Bay. To date she has recorded four victories. On 17 July 2026 at Belterra Park she captured her biggest triumph, winning the $45,000 Horizon Stakes. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors, and anyone who backed her throughout her career would have realized a 229% return on investment.
