Donald R. Dizney’s homebred Princess Bettina will attempt her second added-money victory of the year in her graded-stakes debut in the $175,000 Lake George at Saratoga Friday. The Grade 3 Lake George has attracted a field of 10 3-year-old fillies who will race one mile on the turf with the Chad Brown-trained Liguria the morning line favorite at 3-1.

Assigned morning line odds of 12-1, Princess Bettina makes her second start for trainer Todd Pletcher after shipping east from the Peter Eurton barn in Southern California. In her last in Southern California on March 18 at Santa Anita, Princess Bettina was a four-and-a-quarter-length winner after leading from start to finish in the $100,000 China Doll going a mile on the turf.

Just prior to the China Doll, in her first race in a stakes, Princess Bettina was third, just a length off winner Ag Bullet, in the $101,000 Lady Shamrock at a mile on the grass at Santa Anita on Feb. 12.

The bay daughter of War Front is one of two fillies in the Lake George with a graded-stakes victory as she won the Grade 3 Jimmy Durante going a mile on the turf at Del Mar in December. In one start between the Jimmy Durante and the Wild Applause, Liguria was fifth in the Grade 2 Edgewood going a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the turf at Churchill Downs on May 5.
