She Feels Pretty Aims to Extend Win Streak in Grade 1 Diana Stakes at Saratoga

Multiple Grade 1 winner She Feels Pretty aims to extend her winning streak in the Grade 1 Diana Stakes on July 12 at Saratoga, facing five challengers. Trained by Cherie DeVaux, the Lael Stables-owned filly has won Grade 1 races at ages two, three, and four, including the 2023 Natalma Stakes at Woodbine and the recent New York Stakes at Saratoga. After a loss in last year’s Lake Placid Stakes, DeVaux added blinkers to help She Feels Pretty improve, a move that has paid off as the filly has matured significantly and shown resilience even on less-than-ideal turf conditions.

She Feels Pretty enters the Diana Stakes as the even-money favorite, competing against two Chad Brown-trained contenders, Excellent Truth and Dynamic Pricing, as Brown seeks his tenth Diana win and fourth consecutive victory in the race. However, the field lost Grade 1 winner Be Your Best, who was scratched due to soft turf conditions following heavy rain at Saratoga. The Diana Stakes marks the first Grade 1 event of the Saratoga traditional meet, providing She Feels Pretty an opportunity to further prove her status among the sport’s elite.
