She Feels Pretty Shines in Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup

She Feels Pretty delivered a stunning performance on October 12, taking home the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes (G1T) at Keeneland in a remarkable 4. 

Whether the addition of blinkers or the natural progression of a talented filly hitting her peak, she bolted away in the stretch to win by six lengths, covering the 1 1/8-mile turf race in 1:46.50. 

Her time was the fastest for this event since Memories of Silver set the course record in 1996. She Feels Pretty also achieved a Beyer Speed Figure 100 and an impressive 121 Equibase Speed Figure, the highest for any 3-year-old filly this year.

A Rising Star with Strong Pedigree

Sired by Karakontie, She Feels Pretty comes from an impressive lineage. Karakontie, who won the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1T) and the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (G1), has sired several stakes winners despite not having large books of mares. 

His notable offspring include Spendarella, the 2022 Del Mar Oaks (G1T) winner, and Princess Grace, a multiple graded stakes winner. She Feels Pretty’s win adds another accolade to Karakontie’s growing reputation. She has quickly become a name to watch for bettors keeping track on offtrack betting.

Building Momentum in 2024

Earlier in the year, She Feels Pretty kicked off her 2024 campaign with a decisive win in the Hilltop Stakes at Pimlico. She then finished third in the Belmont Oaks Invitational (G1T) and had another close third-place finish in the Lake Placid Stakes (G2T) at Saratoga Race Course with great mid Saratoga betting odds. 

Her recent Queen Elizabeth II win at Keeneland represents a significant leap forward in her performance, solidifying her as one of the top 3-year-old fillies in North America.

Her pedigree is equally impressive, as She Feels Pretty is out of Summer Sweet, a More Than Ready mare who also boasts a strong bloodline. More Than Ready, with 230 stakes winners to his name, has also proven to be a prolific broodmare sire, adding even more depth to She Feels Pretty’s genetic potential. 

Summer Sweet is a half-sister to multiple turf stakes winners from the same family as Group 1 winners like Hector Protector and Bosra Sham. This rich lineage continues to make She Feels Pretty an appealing choice for those analyzing horse racing odds.

She Feels Pretty will likely be a strong contender in future races with her strong pedigree, exceptional recent performances, and growing reputation.
