In Italian continued the excellent run of form for Hazelwood Bloodstock when setting a new course record in the Diana Stakes at Saratoga on Saturday as well as becoming Dubawi's 51st individual Group or Grade 1 winner.

Bred by Fairway Thoroughbreds, the daughter of Darley's supersire was following in the footsteps of another Hazelwood Bloodstock graduate in last week's Belmont Oaks heroine McKulick.

The four-year-old In Italian had sold to leading American agent Mike Ryan for 475,000gns from Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2019, a year before McKulick changed hands to the same talent spotter for 180,000gns.

In Italian, who sports the colours of Peter Brant, was making it a second Graded success after victory in the Grade 3 Honey Fox Stakes at Gulfstream Park in March for trainer Chad Brown.

She was third to stablemate and fellow Brant-owned Regal Glory in the Grade 1 Just A Game Stakes at Belmont Park last month and second to another Chad and Brant runner in 2020 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches second Speak Of The Devil in the Grade 2 Distaff Turf Mile Stakes at Churchill Downs.
