Soul of An Angel enters the Princess Rooney off a
third-place finish in the Aug. 23 Personal Ensign (G1) at Saratoga following a
slow start. Bought privately and transferred to Joseph after a sixth-place
finish in the March 9 Azeri (G2) at Oaklawn, the 6-year-old daughter of
Atreides scored at first asking, winning the Ruffian (G2) at Aqueduct by 4 3/4
lengths. After a fifth-place finish in the Ogden Phipps (G1), she lost a head bob
to champion Idiomatic in the Molly Pitcher (G3) at Monmouth Park and finished
third in the Personal Ensign.
Joseph also entered Haulin Ice, who captured the
seven-furlong Azalea two starts back, and Imonra, a Grade 3-placed daughter of

lengths, was entered in the Princess Rooney on a four-race winning streak. The
6-year-old daughter of Jess’s Dream is trained by Victor Barboza Jr. He also

in the Madison (G1) at Keeneland. Eddie Plesa Jr. trains the 5-year-old
daughter of First Dude.
Pacholli, a Group 1 winner in Uruguay, is scheduled to make
her U.S. debut in the Princess Rooney. Hernán Parra trains the 6-year-old mare
who has gone unraced since finishing off the board in the Godolphin Mile (G2)
at Meydan.
