Careless Jewel was a little hard to handle even in her career opener. Breaking from the rail at Keeneland Apr. 4, she was a bit rank when in traffic on the back- stretch, then weakened after getting into the clear at the quarter pole and finished third. It was the last time she would be challenged. The Donver Stable colorbearer came back to break her maiden handily on the Woodbine Poly May 9, and added a 7 1/4-length score when trying two turns for the first time in an allowance test in Toronto June 21. Her connections opted to go on the road for her next start, and the move proved wise. Careless Jewel was let go at 10-1 in the July 18 GII Delaware Oaks, but she handled that field with ease, duplicating her winning margin in the allowance test in an eye-catching performance. She was even more impressive despite her antics yesterday. Reunited and It Feels So Good... Reunited with jockey Robert Landry after playing the bronc on the way to the gate, Careless Jewel broke sharply, but had her head cocked around to the right as her rider tried to harness her speed early. Be Fair (Ex- change Rate) went up to take the lead; Careless Jewel was on her heels and on the bit, and Landry had to check sharply as they raced into the first turn, guiding his mount to the outside. Things went more smoothly after that. Careless Jewel tracked Be Fair through frac- tions of :23.33, :47.35 and 1:12.14. Edging closer on the far turn, she was in command when they hit the lane and opened up with every stride to hit the line a Windfall for Windfields... much-the-best winner. AThere was a lot of jostling in The result of the Alabama was a timely catalogue there and I got really concerned--I thought she was update for Windfields Farm, which acquired the dam of going to get dropped into that first turn, and I think Careless Jewel at Keeneland November in 2006, and Robert did a great job with her,@ trainer Josie Carroll announced Friday that they would dis- said.
