Regal Glory, Shantisara (IRE) Give Brown Potent Jenny Wiley Hand

Peter Brant’s Regal Glory and Michael Dubb, Madaket Stables and Robert LaPenta’s Shantisara (IRE) top a field of six fillies and mares entered Wednesday for Saturday’s 34^th running of the $500,000 Jenny Wiley (G1) going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. 

The Jenny Wiley will go as the 10^th race on Saturday’s 11-race program with a 5:48 p.m. ET post time. First post Saturday is 1 p.m. 

Trained by four-time Jenny Wiley winner Chad Brown, Regal Glory and Shantisara bring multiple race win streaks into Saturday’s race. 

Regal Glory closed 2021 with a victory in the Matriarch (G1) at Del Mar and opened 2022 two months later by taking the Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf Invitational (G3) at Gulfstream Park. Regular rider Jose Ortiz has the mount and will depart post position four. 

Shantisara brings a three-race win streak into her 2022 debut highlighted by a 5-length victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1) Presented by Dixiana here last fall. Flavien Prat, who has been aboard for all three of those victories, has the call Saturday and will break from post position three. 

The field for the Jenny Wiley, from the rail out with riders and weights, is: Scarabea (Julien Leparoux, 123 pounds), Waliyak (FR) (Umberto Rispoli, 123), Shantisara (IRE) (Prat, 123), Regal Glory (Ortiz, 123), Navratilova (Colby Hernandez, 123) and Lady Speightspeare (Luis Saez, 123).
