The $400,000 (est.) Jugette Filly pace may be the most wide open in years, with Pedigree Snob and Hawaiian Drink the slight preseason favorites among the 105 fillies eligible to the 39th Jugette to be raced Wednesday, Sept. 23. at the Delaware, Ohio County Fair.
Steve Jones of Montgomery, N.Y. and David Scharf of New York City own Pedigree Snob, bred by Jones at his Cameo Hills Farm. Jones had consigned the daughter of Allamerican Native to the 2007 Lexington Sale, but he and Scharf bid her in for $60,000. “I wasn’t too sure until close to sale time what I was going to do with her," Jones said recently. "I sell everything, but if I could find a partner to race her, I wanted to keep part of her.
The owners sent Pedigree Snob to Sam “Chip” Noble III in Ohio who told Jones and Scharf “that she is the best filly I have ever had.” After Noble won a qualifier with Pedigree Snob in 1:58.3, he sent her to fellow Buckeye Jim Arledge.
In her first start, Pedigree Snob finished third in a division of the Reynolds Stakes for driver Tim Tetrick. She won the $114,571 Countess Adios in 1:52.2. The filly also won the $431,571 Sweetheart Pace at the Meadowands and a division of the Standardbred at Delaware, Ohio. Pedigree Snob’s freshman season came to an end on Sept. 24 when she finished second in the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes Championship.
Pedigree Snob was first, second or third in all nine of her races. She was also one of the fastest, taking a record of 1:51.4 and earned $384,500. Bulletproof Enterprises’ Hawaiian Drink was the fastest in her freshman filly class when she won the $209.700 Matron final on Nov. 15 at Dover Downs in 1:51.3. She then won her elimination of the Breeders Crown but was beaten in the final. Hawaiian Drink won eight of 13 starts and $490,288 and is trained by Tracy Brainard, who took over from Mark Harder in October prior to the filly’s victory in the $462,150 Three Diamonds final at Woodbine. She also won the Hayes Memorial, Kentuckiana Stallion Management Stakes and finished second in a division of the Bluegrass Stakes at The Red Mile. There are also many other Jugette eligibles with excellent stakes showings: Breeders Crown final runner-up Twist N Clout ($496,297), Matron Final runner-up Indulge Me ($227,764), Three Diamonds runner-up Special Sweetheart ($165,286), and American National winner Notjustaprettyface ($295,898). 2009 Jugette eligibles:
