Saturday's Best Bet: Juliet Foxtrot skips away in Jenny Wiley
Saturday’s 10th race from Keeneland is the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley for fillies and mares traveling a mile and a sixteenth on the turf course (Post Time - 6:03 p.m. ET).
#3 JULIET FOXTROT (7-2) was a close show finisher in this event last year and that was probably a stronger edition with Rushing Fall getting the job done. She has fired off the bench before and might be loose on the lead under Tyler Gaffalione. They won’t catch her if she runs one of her better races.
#1 Micheline (2-1) is a sharp, improving four-year-old filly for Michael Stidham. She can stalk or close, and with a slow early/fast late race shape probable, look for her to save ground tracking likely pacesetter Juliet Foxtrot. She can definitely win this affair.
#2 Tamahere (5-2) uncorked a big late kick to win her United States bow in the Sands Point (G2) last fall. She disappointed vs. older as the beaten favorite in the Matriarch (G1) last time, and I can see her being a player in this division if she continues to develop for Chad Brown.
