Only twice in the last six years has trainer Chad Brown failed to win the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes. Saturday at Keeneland, Brown has two chances, Grayosh and Oversubscribed, to break a one-year QE II losing streak. A good field of 10 3-year-old fillies was entered in a Grade 1 offering a gross purse of $750,000, $100,000 available only to Kentucky-breds. Brown, a five-time QE II winner, sent Liguria out to finish sixth in the 2023 renewal and neither of his entrants will be favored Saturday. Morning-line favoritism goes to She Feels Pretty, turned away by Grayosh in the Lake Placid Stakes about two months ago, the most recent start for both fillies. That marked two straight narrow losses as an odds-on favorite for She Feels Pretty. Thus, she races for the first time in blinkers. “Her last two races she’s come to horses or horses have come to her and she’s just waited on them, like she’s trying to stay with her company,” trainer Cherie DeVaux said. “I don’t really want to change her running style. I want her not to lay on the horse next to her and to punch through.” She Feels Pretty, third by a half-length last fall in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, always trains with verve, DeVaux said, and has continued doing so in blinkers. :: Play Keeneland with the most trusted information in horse racing!

She Feels Pretty had Grayosh beaten at the eighth pole of the Lake Placid, but Grayosh, after pulling a favorable inside trip, muscled her way off the fence, came between horses to seize the lead, and edged away at the wire beating She Feels Pretty by a neck. Grayosh, a mere $25,000 auction buy, never had run as well but had been improving over the past several months and stands a decent chance of running back to her Lake Placid under Flavien Prat. Oversubscribed hasn’t started since she finished second behind QE II entrant Pounce in the Lake George Stakes on July 20. Oversubscribed, by Too Darn Hot, was coming off a breakthrough win in the Wild Applause at Aqueduct, where she made a sustained run into a strong pace. Oversubscribed has yet to race beyond 1 1/16 miles and showed up on the Fair Hill Training Center work tab for one breeze in mid-August before starting a steady breeze pattern at Belmont Park. She’s listed as a 6-1 shot under Irad Ortiz Jr., Grayosh at 8-1, prices that could flip by the time betting markets close. Pounce ran well below her best form last month in the Music City at Kentucky Downs and showed next to nothing on the Keeneland turf in April. She is, however, a possible leader in a 1 1/8-mile race lacking pace. Three horses ship from different countries, Caitlinhergrtness’s journey from Woodbine less onerous than Soprano’s from England and France-based Candala. Caitlinhergrtness exits a three-quarter-length win over 10 furlongs on Tapeta in the $1 million King’s Plate, a race restricted to Canadian-breds. Caitlinhergrtness hit a peak in the King’s Plate, showed she handles grass by beating older rivals in a first-level allowance July 6, and might have yet another level to hit. “I think she’s obviously improved immensely from that turf start to where she is now,” trainer Kevin Attard said. “The turf doesn’t concern me. This is a big step up in class, but she’s trained as good as any horse I’ve had.” Attard has trained three Grade 1 winners as well as Moira, a leading North American hope for the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf. Soprano already has raced seven times this year, but far from showing fatigue, she has been getting stronger. The second North American runner for trainer George Boughey and first for jockey Billy Loughnane, Soprano hit a career peak winning a Group 3 in France before improving again to finish third behind ace fillies Porta Fortuna and Fallen Angel in the Group 1 Matron at Leopardstown. Soprano’s new level coincided with a tactical adjustment, the filly allowed to race more freely without cover. :: Get the Inside Track with the FREE DRF Morning Line Email Newsletter.

Candala often has been her own worst enemy, pulling too hard early in her races, but she looked more settled last out in the Group 2 Prix Alec Head while racing for the first time in a hood. Finishing third in that Aug. 18 contest, Candala lost to Friendly Soul, subsequent winner of the Group 1 Prix de l’Opera, and Birthe, a Group 2 winner in May. Pin Up Betty, Waves of Mischief, and Buchu complete the QE II field. And it will not come as a complete surprise if Brown goes two years without winning. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
