While her final run for Kenwood Racing was not the result we were hoping for (a dull 6th at Saratoga Racecourse on August 21st with no excuse, despite the presense of an enthusiastic group of Kenwood partners and co-owners), Jersey Jules had an exciting and profitible racing career for Kenwood, that ended with her claim from the August 21st Saratoga race. Jersey Jules, a lovely chestnut filly, was purchased by Kenwood at the OBS select sale in March of 2014 for the bargain price of $55,000. She earned just over $95,000 in purses for us, with three impressive wins and a number of placings. This year, putting her head in front for the first time in literally the final step, Jersey Jules won a thrilling allowance event with a generous $46,500 purse at Parx on April 4th by a nostril, with the top four horses separated by less than 1 length. It took a picture perfect ride by jockey John Bisono, who tracked the early leaders in 3rd most of the way, and a game effort by Jersey Jules to wear them down in the stretch while holding off the late closers to get the job done. At the wire even the track announcer wasn't sure who won, saying it was too close to call, but the photo showed she'd timed her winning move just right. A large and happy crowd of Kenwood supporters greeted Jules in the winner's circle, making for a happy day indeed. After a tough race when stopping badly after making the lead in the Parx Oaks on May 2nd, Jules rebounded with a nice 2nd on June 4th in an allowance event at Pimlico Race course and a very game 3rd, beaten a neck for the win at Belmont Park on the grass on July 5th. This nice, hard trying filly made money for us last year as a two year old, did it again this year at three, and we feel was sold at the right time. We wish her new owners continued success with her.
