The 2-year-old set features prominently on Friday’s 10-race card, which begins at 12:45 p.m., with two divisions of a $120,000 maiden special weight for juvenile fillies.
The first of those, the day’s fourth race, marks the debut of the well-bred Ensorcell for Ron Moquett. The daughter of rising star sire Not This Time is out of the locally popular Grade 1 winner On Fire Baby.
Alyeska and Geez Eloise are both daughters of prominent freshman sire Vekoma, who leads his class by individual winners and is represented by last weekend’s Iroquois winner, Jonathan’s Way.
The second division of this race, the seventh, marks the debut of $700,000 yearling Muhimma for Brad Cox. The daughter of Munnings may prove a bargain; her half-brother, out of stakes winner Princesa Carolina, fetched $2.2 million at Keeneland September last week.
Another expensive yearling, the $450,000 Curlin filly Being Myself, goes in this tilt for Cherie DeVaux.
Everloving, by the good juvenile sire Violence, got a major update to her family this summer. The Amoss trainee is a half-sister to Grade 2 Amsterdam winner World Record.
Friday’s nominal feature is a $127,000, 1 1/16-mile allowance for fillies and mares who have never won two races, or never won one other than. The morning-line favorite is the consistent Tweetster, who has faced some stakes-quality fillies while only missing the board once in her nascent career. The filly, who is trained by Norm Casse for the stables of the late Marylou Whitney and John Hendrickson, goes two turns for the first time. She is from the extended family of Whitney’s multiple classic producer Dear Birdie.
