Phillip Maas’ A She’s Adorable will be seeking her second straight victory against stakes company when she meets nine rivals in the $200,000 Grade III Robert G. Dick Memorial Stakes (include $50,000 from Breeders’ Cup) at Delaware Park this Saturday. The mile and three-eighths turf test is for fillies and mares.

A She’s Adorable is bringing a record of four wins, four seconds, and a third from ten starts with earnings of $160,600 into race. In her last outing, the 4-year-old daughter of Johar posted a 1 ¼-length score in the mile and a sixteenth on the turf $75,000 John Rooney Memorial at Delaware Park on June 19. Previously, the Kentucky-bred, trained by Michael Stidham, ran second beaten a half length in a one mile turf allowance at Arlington Park. This year, her record is two wins, two seconds, and a third from six starts.

Having a win over the course, a stakes victory, is a plus for A She’s Adorable.

“I think so,” trainer Michael Stidham. “I always think that is an advantage when you run on the surface especially since I think it is her best race to date. She has been doing great. She has been training well and we have had a couple of works since the race.”

Last year, A She’s Adorable started her career by running second in a seven and half furlong $25,000 maiden claiming event. At the time, she did not show that her connections were anything special before her career debut.

“Early on in her training, she just showed us average to moderate ability,” said Stidham. “There really was nothing about her that made us think she was going to be a stakes horse, so at that time we decided to start her off where we thought she would be competitive. She ran a real good race that day and we look at the Ragozin numbers quite a bit for placement of our horses, after we saw the number that she ran first time out, we decided to actually raise her up off of that. She has just been impressive ever since. She is just one of those fillies that no matter where you put her, she really tries hard for you and you cannot ask for more than that.”
