Carrying the same colors as her successful dam, DOUBLE JEOPARDY (Uncle Mo) is set for her unveiling for Bass Stables and Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher. The first-time starter is out of Avenge (War Front), the winner of back-to-back editions of the GI Rodeo Drive Stakes, who counts as a full-sister recent GII Buena Vista Stakes heroine Liguria. Double Jeopardy's older half-sister Defiance (Curlin) broke her maiden at first asking at Santa Anita Jan. 26 for Ramona Bass.

Also on debut are an uncoupled entry from Christophe Clement's shedrow. Oak Bluff homebred Eagle Rising (More Than Ready) has a pair of stakes-winning half-siblings in Governor Malibu (Malibu Moon) and Rieno Tesoro (Sprightstown). Merion Road (Quality Road) is out of an unraced dam who is a half-sister to European champions Grandera (Ire) (Grand Lodge) and George Washington (Ire) (Danehill). TJCIS PPS
