The process of scouting and going over yearlings is not an exact science but every year nearly every horseperson tries to pick out the best of the bunch. That said, Kevin MacLean had a strong suspicion he had something special when he came across Woodmere Jazz at the 2020 Atlantic Classic Yearling Sale.
“We thought this is the one that was the most correct and she has a good pedigree. We were very fortunate to get her for a good price.”
Reg MacPherson collared the yearling filly for $14,500 and entrusted MacLean with training duties. MacLean quickly knew they made the right choice and had high expectations for her heading into his rookie season.
