Princess Grace

Princess Grace opened her career with back-to-back open-length victories at one mile on the grass, the first in August 2020 at Colonial Downs and the second in September at Monmouth Park. Tested next against stakes competition, the Karakontie filly took the lead in deep stretch of the Grade 3 Pin Oak Valley View Stakes Oct. 16 at Keeneland but faded in the closing stride and finished second by a half-length.

Princess Grace made her next start in the Grade 2 Mrs. Revere Stakes, which was moved off the turf due to weather, and she surged well clear to win by 2 ¾ lengths Nov. 14 at Churchill Downs.

The Miss Revere was Princess Grace's final start of 2020, and the filly didn't return to the track until July 6, 2021, in the Grade 3 Dr. James Penny Memorial Stakes at Parx Racing. Sent off as the even-money favorite, she patiently stalked the pace while saving ground along the rail and then split horses in the stretch to score a neck victory over Madita. That win improved her overall career record to four wins in five starts for owners Susan and John Moore and trainer Michael Stidham.

She picked up another graded stakes win on Aug. 7, taking the Grade 2 Yellow Ribbon Handicap at Del Mar by 1 1/4 lengths. Next out, she recovered from a slow break to win the Grade 3 Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf Stakes on Sept. 11.
