Careless Jewel wins big at Alabama Stakes

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Canada-based Careless Jewel opened a clear lead on the stretch turn and drew away to a decisive 11-length victory in the $600,000 Alabama Stakes for 3-year-old fillies Saturday at Saratoga Race Course.

Jockey Robert Landry rated the grey filly behind the early pace set by Be Fair and entering the stretch turn sent Careless Move to a lead that she extended with every stride. She ran 1 1-4 miles in 2:03.24 to win her fourth straight race. Milwaukee Appeal, also sent from Canada for the Alabama, finished second and Casanova Move was third.

The Josie Carroll-trained Careless Move paid $7.80, $4.60 and $3.60. Milwaukee Appeal paid $3.90 and +$3.00 and Casanova Move paid $5.90 to show. Careless Move earned $360,000 for her owned, the Donver Stable.
