Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 10 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 10 hours ago Hardly a secret to the betting public at Fair Grounds, Pretty Sassy (Medaglia d'Oro–Pretty City Dancer, by Tapit) blasted back from a last-out fifth sprinting at Churchill Downs in November to score like a good thing, while stamping herself a TDN Rising Star Sunday. Settled in a stalking third as Queen Jubilee (Authentic) and Ruby's Ghost (Ghostzapper) led them through opening splits of :23.91 and :48.22, the grey sister to 3yo champion filly Pretty Mischievous (Into Mischief) looked like she was itching to go on the far turn but needed the seas to part in front of her. Gaining a slip of daylight turning for home, the even-money choice strode right through and tore down the stretch like her tail was on fire, crossing the wire an easy 7-length winner over her equally-brilliantly bred stablemate Love Song (Ghostzapper-Music Note, by A.P. Indy). Queen Jubilee rounded out the trifecta. Final time for the 8 1/2-furlong test was 1:46.64. Pretty Sassy, out of GI Spinaway Stakes winner Pretty City Dancer, is a half-sister to GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Pretty Mischievous in addition to a full-sister, 3-year-old Ornamental. Godolphin purchased the daughter of Tapit for $3.5 million at the Fasig-Tipton November sale in 2018. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $38,400. O/B- Godolphin (KY). T-Brendan Walsh.
