Who is Dazzling Dame?

Dazzling Dame is a bay filly born March 21, 2023. Her father is Girvin, and her mother is Awesome Dama. She was bred in Maryland by Maria M. Haire and is trained by Brittany Russell. Jockey Jevian Toledo rides her most often. She's owned by two groups: Respect the Valleys and Medallion Racing.

The Good News

Dazzling Dame is a WINNER! She has won 4 out of 6 races—that's a 66.7% win rate, which is exceptional. She's won the Sorority S. (August 17, 2025), the White Clay Creek S. (October 11, 2025), and the Busanda S. (January 3, 2026). All three wins came at 1-mile distance. Her Busanda S. victory showed a 93.0 speed rating and 114.4 Brisnet rating. She has earned $290,525 in her short career.

What Matters

Dazzling Dame is a proven champion among young fillies. She keeps winning races and does it with consistency. Her four wins from six races show she knows how to finish first when it counts. She's been ridden by the same jockey most of the time, which helps with teamwork and understanding.

The Caution

Dazzling Dame's only loss at extended distance is concerning. When she raced at 1 1/16 miles in the Virginia Oaks (March 14, 2026), she finished second. She's never raced at the full 1 1/8-mile distance that the Kentucky Oaks requires. She also ran fourth in the Pocahontas S., so she doesn't always win every race.

The Bottom Line

Dazzling Dame is a legitimate winner with great numbers, but questions remain about whether she can handle the longer classic distance and continue winning against the toughest competition.
