Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 12 Journalists Share Posted April 12 Rabbah Bloodstock homebred CHOISYA (GB) (m, 5, Night of Thunder {Ire}–Fragrancy {Ire}, by Singspiel {Ire}) held off a late surge from favored Excellent Truth (Ire) (Cotai Glory {Ire}) and withstood an objection from the latter's jockey Flavien Prat to register a half-length victory in Saturday's GI Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland. Given her last-out victory over GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf runner-up Cinderella's Dream (GB) (Shamardal) in the G2 Balanchine Stakes at Meydan Feb. 21, a starting price of 13-2 would have felt generous, and her chances were done no harm when she secured the box seat from third as the fleet Kehoe Beach (Omaha Beach) led them at a good gallop. Hugging the fence into the the final three furlongs, Choisya got through when Kehoe Beach rolled away from the inside in upper stretch and hit the front on her incorrect lead at the three-sixteenths. Prat looked determined to take a gap between the drifting Choisya and Kehoe Beach, but it shut down on him, causing Excellent Truth to steady. Prat steered the 3-1 pick back to the inside and was gaining inches, but the wire came first and stewards ultimately allowed the result to stand. Lifetime Record: 20-8-5-0.
