2006 Whitney Handicap Weekend at Saratoga

The Capote Belle Stakes on Friday featured three-year-old fillies who had never won a stakes race, sprinting six furlongs on the main track. 3-1 second choice Cherokee Jewel sat back in sixth early, then found an opening along the rail at the 1/8 pole to charge on through to win going away by 2 1/4 lengths over 4-1 Khalila in a time of 1:11.08. 2-1 favorite India finished fifth. The win extends Cherokee Jewel's lifetime record to 4 wins and a second in five career starts, with earnings of $117,050.
