Two three-year-old fillies, both winners on debut, will be crossing each other's path in the Goff's Juvenile Million, the feature event of Saturday's nine-race card.
Blackjack and Scarlette frank highest on my Dynamic Ratings Class scale, and frankly, I expected them to take parallel routes and clash only in the Indian 1000 Guineas where they would have met another top-ranking filly Moonlight Romance.
But apparently, Bezan Chenoy and Pesi Shroff (who train Blackjack and Scarlette respectively) wish to settle the issue of supremacy once and for all, and thanks to u00a0the duo's presence, the feature event is going to be the one race you cannot miss for the world. I think at the moment, Blackjack has an edge over Scarlette.
