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
Violence who finished fourth in the Sheer Drama last time out.
Beth’s Dream, who won the seven-furlong Sheer Drama by four
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

Beth’s Dream is eligible for the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders
& Owners Association’s $20,000 bonus available to all registered
Florida-breds in the race with $10,000 going to a winner, $6,000 for second and
$4,000 for third.
Maryquitecontrary, who finished second behind Beth’s Dream
in the Sheer Drama after racing in traffic, is Grade 1-placed and a graded-stakes
winner, having captured the 2023 Inside Information (G2) before finishing third
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.
Cousin Kristi, a New York-bred allowance winner at Saratoga
last time out for trainer Cam Gambolati; Unsolved Mystery, an allowance winner
at Colonial Downs in her 2024 debut for trainer Jorge Delgado; and Gallop
