Just One Time (Not This Time), beaten just once in seven starts, will look to follow up on her win in the Apr. 9 GI Madison S. in the GI Derby City Distaff S. at Churchill Downs Saturday. The 4-year-old filly closed late to win the Jan. 29 GII Inside Information S. by 3/4-lengths over Four Graces (Majesticperfection) in her first outing for trainer Brad Cox and defeated the hard-knocking Bell's The One (Majesticperfection) by that same margin in the Madison. She faces both of those foes again Saturday.
Since the Inside Information, Four Graces was third in the Mar. 12 GIII Hurricane Bertie S. and fifth in the Madison. The 5-year-old captured the 2020 GIII Dogwood S. over the Distaff's track and seven-furlong distance, but is winless in seven starts since taking the 2020 GIII Beaumont S.
Edgeway (Competitive Edge), second in last year's GI Breeders' Cup F/M Sprint, heads east after front-running victories in the Jan. 2 Kalookan Queen S. and Mar. 13 GIII Las Flores S. and will be seeking her first top-level score in the Distaff.
