JUST CINDY (f, 2, Justify–Jenda's Agenda {SW, $173,475}, by Proud Citizen), bet down to 6-5 for her career debut, had an awkward beginning, breaking slowly and taking a bobbled step before getting into stride. After settling in behind the leaders in fourth, she began to make up ground along the outside, coming alongside Corningstone (Kantharos) and American Apple (American Pharoah) exiting the far turn. She gained an advantage into the final furlong and kept on to the wire, winning by 2 1/4 lengths over Corningstone to be her freshman sire's third winner. The win was also #500 at Churchill Downs for jockey Rafael Bejarano. The first foal for her dam, Just Cindy has a yearling half-sister by American Pharoah and Jenda's Agenda produced a filly by Mendelssohn in 2022. Sales History: $140,000 RNA Ylg '21 KEESEP.
