'Kitten' Roars to Victory at Kentucky Downs

Given a 4-1 chance while attempting to get her first taste of black-type following a first out win at Ellis Aug. 10, Jezebel's Kitten (2, f, Kitten's Joy–Truc's Love, by Not For Love) woke up in the stretch and rolled to the front late to win Saturday's Juvenile Fillies S. at Kentucky Downs. Settled in midpack early through moderate opening splits, she appeared to be idling as she drove between rivals turning for home. Swung to the outside for the stretch drive, she hit another gear late and burst to the front in the final strides to win going away. Ask Bailey (Run Away and Hide) finished ahead of Battleofwinterfell (Declaration of War). Final time for the eight furlong test was 1:40.06. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $330,000.
