GISW Didia Retired to Resolute

Argentine Champion 3-year-old filly and Grade I winner Didia (Arg) (Orpen-Delambre (Brz), by Rainbow Corner {GB}) has been retired to Resolute Farm, according to the operation's John Stewart Thursday. Campaigned by Merriebelle Stable and Resolute, the 7-year-old will be bred to Darley's Nyquist.

A two-time Group 1 winner in her native Argentina at two, she won her initial four starts after joining Ignacio Correas IV in the U.S., including the 2023 GIII Modesty Stakes at Churchill Downs. Runner-up in the GI New York, she regained the winning thread in the GII Rodeo Drive at Santa Anita. After rounding out her 4-year-old campaign with a 10th in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare, she returned in her 5-year-old debut to score in the GI Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf Invitational at Gulfstream.

Third in Keeneland's GI Jenny Wiley Stakes, the bay took the New York before finishing fourth in both the GI Diana and GII John. C Mabee Stakes at Del Mar in September. In the final start of her career, she finished a close-up third behind subsequent champion turf mare, Moira.

In late December, Correas had stated that the Argentine mare would be retired, however, Stewart followed up to say that she would not be immediately retired. Didia retires with 11 career victories from 18 starts and earnings of $1,754,511.
