Brown and attfield bid for grade 1 double

No trainer has swept the Maker’s Mark Mile (G1) and Jenny Wiley (G1) in the same year, but this week Chad Brown or Roger Attfield could be the first to complete the double. 

Brown, who won last year’s Maker’s Mark Mile with Raging Bull (FR) for Peter Brant, will be represented in Friday’s race by Masen (GB) for Juddmonte and Public Sector (GB) for Klaravich Stables. In Saturday’s Jenny Wiley, Brown will saddle Regal Glory for Brant and send out Michael Dubb, Madaket Stables and Robert LaPenta’s Shantisara (IRE) as he bids for his fifth victory in the race. 

Attfield, a two-time winner of the Maker’s Mark Mile with Shudanz in 1992 and Perfect Soul (IRE) in 2004, will send out Shirl’s Speight in the Maker’s Mark Mile on Friday and Lady Speightspeare in Saturday’s Jenny Wiley. Both horses are owned by Charles Fipke.
