She Feels Pretty Catches Eye in American Oaks

Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mystik Dan  is not the only grade 1-winning 3-year-old sent west for an opening-day stakes race at Santa Anita Park Dec. 26.

Besides that colt, who returns to action in the Malibu Stakes (G1), recent Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes (G1) winner She Feels Pretty  pursues a follow-up top-level stakes victory in the $300,000 American Oaks (G1T) against a dozen other 3-year-old fillies.

Also a grade 1 winner at 2 when she won the Natalma Stakes (G1T) at Woodbine, She Feels Pretty can surpass $1 million in earnings for owner Lael Stables with either a first- or a second-place finish in the American Oaks. On the heels of her six-length triumph in the Oct. 12 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup triumph at Keeneland, she will be favored to win against a lineup that includes Dueling Grounds Oaks Invitational Stakes winner Kathynmarissa .
