Sweet Catomine, who ran the 1 1/16 mile in a quick 1:41.65, now has won three straight races after a career-opening loss for trainer Julio Canani. She becomes a leading candidate for next May's Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs.

The two European starters in the Juvenile Fillies, Mona Lisa and Sense of Style, both missed the start badly and neither was a factor in the race.
