2017 Jessamine Stakes Entries at Keeneland Racecourse

Lady O'Toole

Brad Cox trained filly has four career starts with three nice wins. She enters off a good 3 1/2 length win in the minor Happy Ticket Stakes at Louisiana Downs September 9 after an Allowance score at Indiana Grand July 26, a fifth in the listed Debutante Stakes June 30 and a maiden score at first asking June 16 - the last two at Churchill Downs.

Sunny Skies

Kenneth McPeek trained filly has two wins and two third-place finishes in four career starts. She won her first two career starts including the listed Debutante Stakes at Churchill Downs June 30 and a nine-length maiden score at first asking - she has since posted two runner-up finishes since.

Stainless

Todd Pletcher trained colt has a win and a third-place finish in his three career starts. He won his debut at Gulfstream Park May 29 and followed that with an OK third in the G3 Schuylerville Stakes at Saratoga July 21 and a fourth last time out in the G2 Adirondack Stakes on that track August 12. Stainless has some experience against top fields where he has fared pretty well but has yet to post a stakes score. Jockey Manuel Franco will try to change all of that from post 3.

Thewayiam

French bred Graham Motion trained filly has a win and a third-place finish in her three career starts. She makes her North American debut Monday off an OK third in the Prix Roland de Chanbure in France July 14, a maiden score June 23 and a fifth in his debut in April. Thewayiam has been OK in his career and hopes success at home translates to his North American debut. Joel Rosario will be in charge from gate 12.

Madame X.

Will race for the fourth time for trainer Susan Cooney having posted a win and a second-place finish so far. She makes her graded stakes debut Monday off a second in the minor Selima Stakes at Laurel Park September 16 which followed a disappointing seventh in the minor Bolton Landing Stakes at Saratoga August 16 and a maiden score at first asking - at Laurel Park July 2. Madame X. has been OK so far in her career and chases a career-best effort from post 5. Jack Gilligan has the mount.

Sugar Queen

Todd Pletcher trained filly has two wins and a third-place finish in four career starts. She arrives off an OK third in the minor Bolton Landing Stakes at Saratoga August 16 after an Allowance Optional Claiming score at Saratoga July 24, a fourth in the minor Astoria Stakes at Belmont Park June 8 and a maiden score on that track in May. Sugar Queen races in graded stakes company for the first time Wednesday in decent form and will have John Velazquez in the irons from post 11.

Rosie O'Prado

Danny Pish trained filly has a win and a third-place finish in her two career starts. She enters off an OK third in her stakes debut - the minor Happy Ticket Stakes at Louisiana Downs September 9 after a maiden score at first asking - at Lone Star July 30. Rosie O'Prado has been competitive so far in her career and hopes to be again Wednesday from the outside post 14. Jose Valdivia Jr. rides.

Miss Mo Mentum

Mark Casse trained filly has a win and a second-place finish in four career starts. She steps into stakes company for the first time Monday having finally broken maiden last time out at Churchill Downs.

Chris Landeros rides.

Cash Out

George Arnold II trained filly has one win in her two career starts. She steps into stakes company for the first time off that win - a maiden score at Kentucky Downs September 9. She was fifth in her debut at Saratoga August 13. Cash Out improved dramatically in her second start and hopes to keep that trend going from gate 6. Florent Geroux will be in the saddle.

Punto de Entrada

Will race for the second time for trainer Santiago Medina off a nice win in her only career start - at Delaware Park September 23. Punto de Entrada shoots for a second win in two starts - from post 7 with Diego Fernando Gomez guiding her.

Wayne Catalano trained filly has one career starts and she made it a successful one - a maiden score at Ellis Park September 4. She tries to remain unbeaten Wednesday when she leaves from post 9 with Channing Hill in the reins.

Mentality

Has two career starts for trainer Wesley Ward with one win - that coming in her debut at Belmont Park June 16. She followed that with an OK fourth in the listed PG Johnson Stakes at Saratoga August 31.

Rushing Fall

Chad Brown trained filly has just one career start and it was a good one - a maiden score at Belmont Park September 16. She tries to make it two-for-two to start her career when she leaves from gate 2 with Javier Castellano in the irons.

She's All Skeet

Alternate Entry - Joe Sharp trained filly has two career starts - a sixth in her debut and a maiden score last time out - at Kentucky Downs September 14. She's All Skeet hopes to draw in Wednesday and if she does will have Luis Saez in the irons.
