Midshipman Filly Stays Undefeated with Kentucky Juvenile Win

[Wandering Eyes]

Averly Jane came from just off the pace to remain undefeated in two starts and gain her black-type badge in Wednesday's Kentucky Juvenile S. Bohemian Frost took to the front through a quarter :21.84 and :45.34 as heavy 1-2 favorite Averly Jane remained in hot pursuit. A couple of lengths adrift of the free-running grey turning for home, the Wesley Ward trainee gradually overtook the pacesetter midstretch and strode clear to score with ease over an oncoming Vodka N Water. Bohemian Frost held on for third. “She's a naturally fast filly, most of his horses are,” explained winning rider Tyler Gaffalione. “She jumped out well, but she just got out-sprinted for the lead. We didn't want to get into a speed duel. I was able to get to the outside. When my filly hit the lane, she gave me everything she had.” No secret in her career debut at Keeneland Apr. 15, Averly Jane came home an eye-catching 8 3/4-length winner. The winner's dam is also responsible for a yearling Brody's Cause colt.
