Background
editCareless Jewel is out of the mare Sweet and Careless, and was sired by Tapit, a son of Pulpit by A.P. Indy by Seattle Slew. Bred by Gainesway Thoroughbreds Ltd.[2] & Bill Andrade, the filly was sold at the September 2007 Keeneland Yearling Sale for $40,000. She is owned by Verne Dubinsky of Alberta, Canada who races under the name Donver Stables, and is trained by Josie Carroll from a base at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto.[3]
Racing career
editCareless Jewel came to prominence on the racing scene in July when she won the Delaware Oaks by over 8 lengths. She followed that with an 11-length victory in the Grade I Alabama Stakes over ten furlongs.[4] She earned her fifth straight victory in the Cotillion Handicap in late September.
Ridden by regular jockey Robert Landry, Careless Jewell was the 9-5 favorite going into the November 6, 2009, Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic world championship.[5] However, the filly was uncontrollable and charged to an almost ten length lead, exhausting herself by the turn for home and fading to finish last. She did not race again.[6]
After racing
editHer first foal was by Street Cry (IRE) and in 2013, she became the first mare to check in foal to Bodemeister.[7] She later had a colt by Tiznow (in 2015) and in 2017 foaled a filly by Pioneerof the Nile. Careless Jewel lives at Summer Wind Farm in Georgetown, Kentucky.
