Evvie Jets

Evvie Jets broke her maiden as a 3-year-old in a $75,000 claiming race at Saratoga on Aug. 13, 2021 for trainer Tony Dutrow, and then was claimed for $80,000 out of her next start on Sept. 16 by trainer Merikan Kantarmaci, who would eventually turn the daughter of Twirling Candy out of the mare Natchez Trace by Consolidator into a graded stakes winner a little more than a year later.

Evvie Jets found the winner's circle again in her final 3-year-old start in a first-level allowance race at Aqueduct on Nov. 27. Her next win was as a 4-year-old on July 10, 2022 at Belmont Park when she beat allowance optional claiming competition.

In her debut against graded stakes competition at the Belmont at the Big A meet on Sept. 24, Evvie Jets led much of the way until eventually settling for a second-place finish by a neck in the Grade 3 Athenia Stakes.

Her graded stakes breakthrough came on Oct. 22 back at Belmont at the Big A when she scored by 1 1/4 lengths in the Grade 3 $150,000 Noble Damsel stakes at one mile.

Evvie Jets closed out 2022 with another good performance when second in the Forever Together Stakes at Aqueduct. She returned in 2023 for a 5-year-old campaign and won two of her first four starts, both listed stakes in New York, before a start in the Grade 2 Mohegan Sun Ballston Spa Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 24.

With replacement rider Manny Franco in the saddle, the mare sat off of a solid early pace and rallied along the inside to outlast Fluffy Socks by a head and post a 29.25-1 upset in the Ballston Spa, her fourth career stakes win.
