Impressive Jeuney 3yo of the Year

"Recognition for a fantastic year"

 

Impressive Jeuney has capped a terrific season of racing by being crowned 3yo of the year at the Perth Racing Awards Luncheon held on Friday August 27th.

 

It was due recognition for Barbie as she is affectionately known by her handlers and connections. The stunning Jeune chestnut put together 2 preps of racing getting to the track for 16 starts for 6 wins and 6 placings with nearly $450,000 in prizemoney.

 

After winning back to back Listed races at the end of her first prep the best of Impressive Jeuney was still to come as she was sent on Oaks preparation in the Autumn. With solid lead up form she finally hit her straps recording a 1.75 lengths victory in the Listed Natasha Stakes over 2200m leading all the way to score. Punters quickly rallied to back her in the Group 3 WA Burswood Oaks as she was sent out as an odds-on favorite and didn't let her supporters or connections down. In a breath taking display of front running power she once again proved too good for her challengers winning by 2.75 lengths.

 

Her 2 preps showed not only her class and stamina but also her toughness as she had to overcome a few training setbacks along the way including having nearly bit her tongue off which required stitching up.

 

Impressive Jeuney is now back in training and has just had her first gallop as she progress's towards what will hopefully be another fruitful campaign in the upcoming summer.
