Cross Traffic’s Jaywalk Goes Wire-to-Wire in BC Juv Fillies

[Wandering Eyes]

JAYWALK (f, 2, Cross Traffic–Lady Pewitt, by Orientate) took the field from gate-to-wire to capture her second top-level victory in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Friday beneath the Twin Spires. Sent off at 5-1 in this first try around two turns, the $190,000 KEESEP buy went straight to the head of affairs, clicking off opening splits of :23.26 and :46.76 with favored Bellafina (Quality Road), ‘TDN Rising Star’ Restless Rider (Distorted Humor) and Vibrance (Violence) all close behind. Restless Rider and Bellafina looked like they might make a race of it as the ranged up outside the pacesetter turning for home, but Jaywalk still had plenty left in the tank and cruised home to a decisive score in 1:43.62. Restless Rider held second over Vibrance and Bellafina was a well-beaten fourth. Runner-up to ‘TDN Rising Star’ Nonna Madeline (Candy Ride {Arg}) on debut at Monmouth June 23, Jaywalk romped by 7 1/2 lengths next out in the mud at Parx July 24 and captured Delaware’s White Clay Creek S. Aug. 22. She entered this off a decisive 5 3/4-length success in the GI Frizette S. at Belmont Oct. 7, which she also took in wire-to-wire fashion. Lifetime Record: 5-4-1-0.
