Friday’s $750,000 New York (G1) came up terrifically deep on paper, but Didia looked in a different league when driving to her first U.S. Grade 1 victory.

Uncharacteristically lackluster in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1) in her latest, Merriebelle Stable’s Didia was back to her best in Saturday’s Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G2) at Gulfstream Park.

A four-month layoff didn’t stop 11-10 favorite Didia from posting a comfortable victory in Saturday’s Rodeo Drive (G2) racing 1 1/4 miles over the Santa Anita turf course.

Didia stepped up in grade for Friday’s Modesty (G3) at Churchill Downs and stamped herself as a rising force in the turf female division.

Blue Prize rallied to the lead in midstretch and held off even-money favorite Midnight Bisou late to capture the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) at Santa Anita.
