Jenda’s Agenda signaled her readiness for this career bow with a series of speedy drills over the local strip, most recently breezing a bullet five furlongs in 1:00 1/5 Jan. 2. Away well, the 2-1 shot seized the early advantage and was well within herself as she ticked off opening fractions of :23.66 and :46.28. Cruising clear in the stretch under a hand ride, she rolled home to a seemingly effortless 6 1/4-length victory. Honey Bunny (Tapizar) completed the exacta. Trainer Larry Jones and his wife Cindy campaigned the winner’s dam Just Jenda to a trio of graded victories, including her career finale in the 2010 GII Molly Pitcher S. at Monmouth Park. Jenda’s Agenda is the 11-year-old mare’s first foal to race and she has since produced a yearling colt by Old Fashioned and a weanling filly by Majesticperfection. She was bred back to Creative Cause. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $24,600.
