Haughty

Haughty is a turf filly that has enjoyed success at ages 2 and 3 for trainer Chad Brown. She finished first in her career debut Sept. 17, 2021 at Belmont Park but was disqualified for interference and placed third. The Empire Maker filly was much the best in her second start, winning by four lengths Oct. 17 at Keeneland for her first official victory.

Haughty was tested next in the Grade 1, $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf and turned in an impressive effort when third behind winner Pizza Bianca and runner-up Malavath, beaten less than a length.

After a promising 2-year-old campaign, Haughty won multiple stakes as a 3-year-old. On June 3, 2022, Haughty returned to the races in the Penn Oaks at Penn National. She was the odds-on favorite at 2-5 odds and won by 4 3/4 lengths while never being seriously asked for run by Flavien Prat. 

Following a disappointing ninth-place finish in the Grade 1 Belmont Oaks Invitational, Haughty rebounded at Saratoga on August 20, 2022 when she posted a 3/4-length victory in the Grade 2 Lake Placid Stakes, where she controlled the pace all the way under jockey Jose Ortiz and went wire-to-wire to pay $13.40 to win.

Haughty is owned by Bradley Thoroughbreds, Belmar Racing and Breeding LLC, Cambron Equine LLC, and Team H, and was bred by Gainesway Thoroughbreds Ltd. in Kentucky.
