US blacktype win for Juncture

Already a dual stakes winner in Ireland, Juddmonte filly Juncture recorded her first US stakes success on Monday (29th May) at Lone Star Park.

Taken from the Thoroughbred Daily News, 30th May 2023:

Competitive in the Group ranks in her native Ireland before making the trip overseas to the Brad Cox barn, Juncture made her American debut at Keeneland (21st April), but was sixth as the beaten favorite. Cut back a sixteenth from that trip to the mile in Texas yesterday, the Juddmonte homebred trailed the field through the opening half in :47.14 and took her time picking off horses into the far turn. Caught between rivals while wide around the bend, she found another gear when angling out past the quarter pole, rushing to the front inside the final sixteenth to get the win going away.

Out of a half-sister to a trio of successful runners in Gr.1 winner Promising Lead, Gr.1 performer and stakes winner Laurel (Kingman), and multiple Group winner and Grade 1 performer Visit (Oasis Dream), Juncture
traces back through her third dam to several Danehill full siblings, most notably Canadian Horse of the Year Champs Elysess, multiple Gr.1 winner Intercontinental, European Champion two-year-old filly and Champion grass mare Banks Hill,  Dansili and Cacique. Her dam last produced a yearling filly by Oasis Dream.
