LA Girl was bought by Strawberry Hill for $360,000 at the 2019 Magic Millions Yearling Sale and from a brief career of just five starts the daughter of Not a Single Doubt was able to win a race and was fourth in the Group III VRC Ottawa Stakes as a spring two year-old. She comes from a big Black Type family featuring Group I winner Hasahalo and Group winners Savvy Nature and Addictive Nature.
