English Jubilee

A new acquisition as of June 29, 2023 is this lovely 2YO filly by English Channel out of a Kitten's Joy mare. She's top turf breeding through-and-through, and an Ontario bred to boot! She was acquired at an unlikely place - the F/T 2YO in Training Sale at Timonium.

Other Notes: 

English Jubilee is a scopey, classy and fluid-moving filly 

who is a product of her heritage. She is exactly what 

you'd want to see from a daughter of English Channel 

out of a Kitten's Joy mare.

This gal is turf through and through and she is designed

and built to run as far as they write races.

English Jubilee is a Canadian/Ontario-Bred, to boot, which 

makes her pedigree and status valuable in Toronto at 

Woodbine Racetrack, where she will have the luxury of 

excelling on synthetic and turf against Ontario-Breds.

Dual Hall of Fame trainer in Canada and in the U.S.A., 

Mark Casse, who has trained 2 Canadian-Bred Champions 

... the past 3 seasons, will be [her trainer].  ...English Jubilee 

is out of a Kitten's Joy mare... [this is] her 1st foal. 

Current location: First work at Churchill Downs (7/8). Second

work at Woodbine (7/19).
