Tuesday tab: Didia leads 7 graded-stakes winners

Didia, the Argentina-bred mare who won her first Grade 1 stakes last out in the New York, is back at work for trainer Ignacio Correas IV.

The 6-year-old breezed four furlongs in 49.4 seconds at Keeneland Tuesday, the 35th fastest of 66 at the distance.

Didia began racing in the U.S. in 2022 after starting her career in Argentina. She won five of her first six U.S. races, with a second in the 2023 New York, before a 10th-placing showing in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf. She opened 2024 with a win in the Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G2) and returned in April with a third-place finish in the Jenny Wiley (G1) before her New York start.
