How to bet the 2025 Noble Damsel Stakes

October 17th, 2025

Seven fillies and mares are entered for the grass in Sunday’s $150,000 Noble Damsel S. at Aqueduct. The one-mile affair on the lawn is led by South African Group 2 heroine #6 Feather Boa, who looms large in this spot. The Flower Alley six-year-old also owns six Group placings in her lifetime, with two coming at the highest level, and she gave a nice impression of herself in the fall when rallying to be a close and clear third in an allowance sprint on this surface. 

The Todd Pletcher trainee has won or placed in 16 of her 18 career assignments to date and has reportedly been working in very good fashion in advance of her return to the races. Chestnut mare will be doing her best work in the lane with Joel Rosario signed on in a race where the pace should be honest at the very least. 

Grade 3 winner #7 Tax Implications is far from a win machine with a 3-for-16 career mark to date, but the Chad Brown pupil has kept nice company along the way and fits quite well in this field. By Mehmas, the five-year-old paired up two good runs in succession at Saratoga in the summer, and the strong late runner will receive a favorable pace set up to aid her closing kick, as well. Flavien Prat taking the reins atop the consistently solid five-year-old adds to her appeal. 

#4 Coni Fizz will make her stateside debut in the tilt for conditioner Jimmy Toner. The gray four-year-old is a neck and a head from being unbeaten from eight career runs to date, and the Group 1 victress has displayed her versatility in winning big races on both the turf and dirt in her lifetime. Marconi filly has recorded a trio of public works in the U. S. leading up to Sunday, and while she hasn’t had much time to acclimate to her new surroundings, the filly could be any kind with Jorge Ruiz in the controls. The price should be right, too.
