   A debut second in a sprint over the Stall-Wilson turf course at the Fair Grounds Mar. 8, Wine Princess looked like a filly with a future when rolling home by five lengths on the Kentucky Oaks undercard May 4. Returned to the grass for her first attempt at two turns in Louisville June 8, the chestnut weakened to fourth after racing prominently, but she returned to the main track for her latest, a popular 2 1/2-length victory over a one-turn mile at the Downs June 29. Off just a touch slow, Wine Princess was ridden along to lead into the first turn while just off the inside. The second choice set a measured pace beneath Shaun Bridgmohan, turned back a three-wide challenge from Proud Pearl--a full sister to champion Proud Spell--at the quarter pole and edged clear late.
