One ran out of superlatives to describe the wonder mare Juliette, the eight-year-old got-abroad grey by Musketier out of Gimmesumsugar, as she strolled to victory in the HPSL Indian Turf Invitation Cup here on Sunday. Sporting the colours of the Poonawalla family this time, but with the professional combination of trainer Karthik Ganapathy and jockey C.S. Jodha remaining unchanged, Juliette put daylight between herself and her rivals.
At the regal age of 8, it was almost as if she was making a statement when leaving the runner-up Jamari eight lengths adrift while stopping the clock at a record time of 2 minutes, 26.783s.
