Gun Runner Half-Sister Pretty Ana Makes the Grade in the Comely

[Wandering Eyes]

It was nip and tuck to the wire, but Pretty Ana (3, f, Quality Road–Quiet Giant, by Giant's Causeway) gamely turned away Alpine Princess (Classic Empire) to secure her first black type victory in the GIII Comely Stakes.

The half-sister to breeder/owner Three Chimneys Farm's flagship sire Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg}), the dark bay rode the rail right from the jump and turned away the challenge in the lane. Scalable (Speightstown) came on for third.

Pretty Ana was last seen Oct. 26 running third, beaten by a neck for it all, in the GII Mother Goose Stakes.

 

PRETTY ANA ($9.40) turned Alpine Princess away in the $200,000 Comely Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct. The three-year-old daughter of Quality Road (@LanesEndFarms) was ridden by Jose Lezcano for trainer Chad Brown.
