The filly counterpart of the Metro Pace is the $688,000 She's A Great Lady Stakes for 2-year-old pacing fillies. Pretty Katherine was sent off as the 2-5 favorite in the field of 10 over 9-2 second choice Idyllic and 11-1 third choice Shyaway.

Driver Dave Miller sent Idyllic to the lead soon after the start and was stalked by Pretty Katherine through a quarter in 27 4/5. Pretty Katherine took over the lead down the backstretch getting the half in 56 2/5 and 3/4 in 1:24 1/5. The favorite led to the 1/8 pole but Idyllic stayed with her the whole way and fought back in the final 1/16 to win by 3/4 length in 1:53. It was another 1/4 length back to 21-1 Strike at Attitude third.
