Juliette Marny (foaled 1972) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the classic Epsom Oaks in 1975. After being beaten in both her races as a two-year-old and disqualified on her three-year-old debut, the filly won the Lingfield Oaks Trial, the Oaks Stakes and Irish Oaks before her career was ended by injury in the Yorkshire Oaks. She was then retired to stud, where she had some success as a broodmare.

Background

Juliette Marny was a bay mare with no white markings^[1] bred in Wiltshire by the Fonthill Stud which was managed by James Ian Morrison, the filly's owner throughout her racing career.^[2] She was from the first crop of foals sired by Blakeney the winner of the 1969 Epsom Derby, who was standing at the National Stud. Juliette Marny's dam Set Free, was in fact the first mare covered in Blakeney's first season at stud after the inexperienced stallion reportedly "took a while to realise was what required of him".^[3]

Set Free was a moderate racehorse, with a best Timeform rating of 90,^[4] but she became an outstanding broodmare. In 1975 she produced the St Leger Stakes winner Julio Mariner (also by Blakeney) and in the following year she foaled Scintillate a filly who won the Oaks in 1979.^[5]

The filly, named after the heroine of the novel I Will Repay, was sent into training with Jeremy Tree at Beckhampton in Wiltshire.

Racing career

1974: two-year-old season

Juliette Marny failed to win in two races as a two-year-old in 1974. She showed some promise on her second appearance when she finished second in a race at Salisbury Racecourse.^[6]

1975: three-year-old season

On her first appearance as a three-year-old, Juliette Marny contested the Group Three Princess Elizabeth Stakes over eight and a half furlongs at Epsom Downs Racecourse in April. She finished first, beating Persian Market by two lengths, but was disqualified^[7] and placed last after veering to the left in the closing stages and causing interference. Her jockey, Greville Starkey was suspended for his performance and did not ride the filly again. In May, Juliette Marny was moved up in distance to contest the Oaks Trial over one and a half miles at Lingfield Park Racecourse. Ridden by Lester Piggott, she won by a head from Harmonise, a filly who was carrying five pounds more.^[6]

On 7 June, Juliette Marny contested the 197th running of the Oaks Stakes at Epsom and started at odds of 12/1 in a field of twelve fillies. Piggott had the choice of Tree's two entries and elected to ride Juliette Marny ahead of Jock Whitney's filly Brilliantine. Racing on firm ground, she took the lead a furlong from the finish and drew clear to win very easily by four lengths from Val's Girl with the favourite Moonlight Night in third. Piggott, who equaled the record of 21 British classic victories said: "We were never in any danger... Juliette Marny was running away in the straight." Tree called the result "the highlight of my career."^[8]

In the Irish Oaks a month later at the Curragh, she was opposed by a field which included Nobiliary, a filly who had finished second to Grundy in the Epsom Derby. Juliette Marny won by a neck from Tuscarora, with Nobiliary in third. In August, Juliette Marny was sent to York Racecourse for the Yorkshire Oaks. She finished third behind May Hill, sustaining a leg injury which ended her racing career.^[6]

Assessment and honours

In 1975, the independent Timeform organisation gave Juliette Marny a rating of 123,^[4] placing her ten pounds behind the season's top rated three-year-old filly Rose Bowl.^[9] In their book, A Century of Champions, based on the Timeform rating system, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Juliette Marny an "inferior" winner of the Oaks.^[10]

Stud record

Juliette Marny was retired from racing to become a broodmare at Fonthill Stud, where she produced at least seven winners:

North Briton (bay colt foaled 1979 sired by Northfields) won two races
Joly Bay (bay filly 1980 by Mill Reef) won Pretty Polly Stakes^[4]
Surrey Dancer (bay colt 1988 by Shareef Dancer), won thirteen races^[11]
July Girl (bay mare 1989 by Rousillon), won Listed Premio Pietro Bessero^[12]
Lac Ladoga (chestnut colt 1991 by Sharpo), won one race^[13]
Duchess of Alba (bay filly 1992 by Belmez) won one race,^[14] dam of Nicobar (won Sandown Mile, Premio Emilio Turati, sire of Dunaden)
Jaunty Jack (bay colt 1994 by Midyan), won five races including Gran Premio d'Italia^[15]

Juliette Marny's daughter Sans Dot (by Busted failed to win a race but produced the Grade I winning hurdlers French Holly and Deano's Beeno.^[3]
