Coasted Leads Field of Seven in P.G. Johnson

Seven up-and-coming juvenile fillies will go postward on Thursday for the 12th running of the $100,000 P.G. Johnson at 1 1/16 miles on the inner turf.

Heading the field is Treadway Racing Stable's Coasted, an eye-catching six-length winner when switched to the turf at the P.G. Johnson distance on August 7. Trained by Leah Gyarmati, the Tizway filly had finished an even fifth in her debut going 5 ½ furlongs at Belmont Park behind winner Libby's Way, beaten favorite in the Grade 2 Adirondack next out.

Jose Lezcano rides from post position 4.

Majestic Bonnie, also a maiden winner at 1 1/16 miles at the Spa for trainer George Weaver, drew the outside post position 7 and will be ridden by Manny Franco.

Making her North American and stakes debut for trainer Graham Motion is Naifah, who enters off three consecutive second-place finishes in England. The Irish-bred daughter of Kodiak most recently was beaten just a half-length going seven furlongs at Doncaster over good going.

She will be ridden from post position 1 by Jose Ortiz.
