She had to work for this one but She Feels Pretty (Karakontie {Jpn}) added yet another Grade I win to her resume (her fourth overall) with a gutsy victory over 17-1 longshot Beach Bomb (SAf) (Lancaster Bomber) in the GI New York Stakes Friday. Practically untouchable for trainer Cherie DeVaux, the 4-year-old made just the [...]

Maybe it was the sloppy sealed track. Or the 1 1/8 mile distance. Or maybe, just maybe, the force was with her Friday.
