Excellent Truth, winner of Diana Stakes, is retired after injury

Excellent Truth, winner of the Grade 1 Diana at Saratoga, was retired after being injured during training.

"After consulting with the best medical professionals in the industry we believe she has unfortunately ran her last race," John Stewart of owner Resolute Racing said in an X post. He said she will rest up at Stewart's Central Kentucky farm for the rest of the year and join Resolute's broodmare band next year.

Purchased for $1.7 million in December after winning four of 11 starts in France, Excellent Truth had three starts for trainer Chad Brown. She was second in both the Jenny Wiley (G1) and Just a Game (G1) before her Diana win by a head over odds-on favorite She Feels Pretty on July 12.

Excellent Truth had been working at Saratoga since the Diana, most recently breezing five furlongs in 1:00.2, fastest of six at the distance on Sept. 22.
