E. P. Taylor S.-G1 Winner SHE FEELS PRETTY Highlighted as Savvy Sales Purchase

SHE FEELS PRETTY, winner of the E. P. Taylor Stakes-G1 at Woodbine on August 16, has put together a string of seven impressive races.  In consecutive order, she won the  Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup-G1 at Keeneland last October, the American Oaks-G1 at Santa Anita in December, the Modesty S-G3 at Churchill Downs in May, the New York S.-G1 at Belmont at Saratoga in June, was runner-up in the Diana S.-G1 at Saratoga in July, then won the E. P. Taylor S.-G1 at Woodbline last weekend.

Racing for Lael Stables,  the daughter of Karakontie was purchased by owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson for $240,000 from Stone Farm’s 2022 Keeneland September Sale consignment. Out of the More Than Ready mare Summer Sweet, the 3-year-old filly was bred by Virginia Kraft Payson’s Payson Stud and was also foaled and raised at Stone Farm.

In a recent sales feature called “Second Week Stars” published in the Paulick Report, Joe Nevills recounts how SHE FEELS PRETTY went from Book Four yearling to becoming a star on the turf. Here’s a link to the write up:
