This summer's GI Dunkin Diana Stakes winner Excellent Truth (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}) was injured during training and has been retired to Resolute Farm, John Stewart announced on social media Thursday.
His post reads: “I am sad to announce that Excellent Truth has been retired after sustaining an injury during training. After consulting with the best medical professionals in the industry, we believe she has unfortunately ran her last race. She competed in three Grade I's, coming in second twice and winning the Dunkin Diana. She will rest up the remainder of the year on Resolute Farm before joining the many Grade I winning mares in her second career.”
Excellent Truth was a €1,600,000 acquisition from the Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale in 2024. After joining Stewart's North American string, she ran second in both the GI Jenny Wiley and the GI Just A Game Stakes to bring her career earnings north of $677,000. Her final start was her win in the Diana at Saratoga July 12.
