Let Them Watch Puts Unbeaten Record On Line in Myrtlewood

BY BROCK SHERIDAN


Florida-bred Let Them Watch will take her unblemished record to Keeneland Friday to challenge eight other 2-year-old fillies in the $200,000 Myrtlewood. Trained by Mike Maker for Case Chambers, Let Them Watch has been set at 10-1 on the morning line of the six-furlong Myrtlewood while trainer Brad Cox will saddle 3-1 morning line favorite Youalmosthadme.


Let Them Watch is two-for-two in her brief career including a two-and-three-quarter-length victory against fillies in the $90,000 Sharp Susan going six furlongs at Gulfstream Park on Aug. 13.
