Fourteen 3-year-old pacing fillies were entered in the Jugette, set to be held at the
Southwind Tempo, the morning line favorite at odds of 8-5, will race from post position four in the first elimination heat with driver Tim Tetrick. Mystical Dreamer, who was second in last week’s Nadia Lobell Stake at The Red Mile, is the second choice at odds of 4-1. Mystical Dreamer will start from post seven.
The second elimination is wide open. Isabella Blue Chip, the 2006 juvenile filly champion, is a slight favorite at odds of 5-2. Next are Current Hanover (7-2), Western Graduate (4-1), Me And My Baby (9-2) and Elusive Prey (5-1). Isabella Blue Chip raced from June to December as a 2 year old, winning eight times and earning $658,583. “We decided to give her a long rest and didn’t start back with her until July,” said trainer George Teague. “Then she developed some foot problems and we had to back off again with her. She was two months behind the other fillies this year. She won her first qualifier on July 19th.” Isabella Blue Chip won a New York Sires Stakes in her last start on Sept. 5 “and she seemed more like her old self. I think she’s getting close to Southwind Tempo, but being close to that great filly doesn’t cut it,” said Teague. David Miller will drive Isabella Blue Chip in the Jugette. The total purse for the Jugette will be $300,000, with $48,000 per elimination, a $144,000 second heat, plus $60,000 for the winner. The fields are as follows:
