      Diana Stakes Winner Excellent Truth Added to Fasig-Tipton November Sale

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      Excellent Truth (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}), winner of the GI Diana Stakes in July, has been supplemented to Monday's Fasig-Tipton November Sale. The 5-year-old mare will offered as a broodmare prospect as hip 225 through the Elite consignment. “Excellent Truth is an exciting supplement to our November Sale,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “She has excelled at the highest levels in the United States and Europe, and her deep pedigree makes her an attractive broodmare prospect for breeding operations the world over.” A group winner in France in 2023 and runner-up in the 2024 G1 Prix Rothschild, Excellent Truth was purchased by John Stewart's Resolute Racing for €1.6 million at the 2024 Arqana December sale. Transferred to the barn of trainer Chad Brown, she opened her stateside campaign with a runner-up effort in the Apr. 12 GI Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland and was second again in the GI Just a Game Stakes at Saratoga. She narrowly outbattled multiple Grade I winner She Feels Pretty to win the July 12 GI Diana Stakes.
