Plum Pretty Wins US Gr1 Kentucky Oaks
Multiple Gr1-winning shuttler Medaglia D’Oro (El Prado-Cappucino Bay, by Bailjumper) added a US Gr1 triumph and 6th individual Gr1-winner, when daughter Plum Pretty (Medaglia D’Oro-Liszy, by A.P.Indy) scored by a neck in the US$1 million Gr1 Kentucky Oaks (9 furlongs) for 3YO fillies at Churchill Downs, a day before the Derby and in front of 110,122 fans (3rd-highest attendance in Kentucky Oaks history). Peachtree Stable’s Plum Pretty, ridden by Martin Garcia for trainer Bob Baffert, defeated fast-finishing St John’s River (Include-Adventurous Di, by Private Account) and Zazu (Tapit-Rhumb Line, by Mr Greeley). At her previous start, Plum Pretty (a US$130,000 2YO at the 2010 Ocala Breeders March Sale) had annihilated her rivals by an extraordinary 25-lengths in the Listed Sunland Park Oaks (8.5 furlongs) in New Mexico; overall she now boasts 3 wins and 2 placings (February’s Gr1 Las Virgenes Stakes over 8 furlongs at Santa Anita and January’s Gr2 Santa Ynez Stakes over 7 furlongs at Santa Anita) from 5 starts for $761,200 earnings.

The Enchanting Currency Of Fate

It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
