Two year-old filly Jester Nojoy (trained by Todd Pletcher and broken by Donna Freyer of the Camden Training Center) is headed to the graded stakes after her win in the Saratoga 8th on Sunday.
JESTER CALLS NOJOY (f, 2, Maclean’s Music–Morning Star, by Sky Mesa) went quickly to the front, carving out initial splits of :22.99 and :46.58. In the clear leaving the quarter pole, the 3-5 choice bounded away through the lane, crossing the wire 10 lengths ahead of Malibu Kendall (Curlin) at the wire. It was a length farther back to Handbelle (Tapit). The winner’s dam, Morning Star, is also responsible for a yearling colt by Super Saver and a son of Violence from this season. She was bred back to Maclean’s Music.
