A field 10 older fillies compete in the $65,000 Emerald Distaff at 1 1/8 miles in the season’s championship event for older fillies and mares Sunday at Emerald Downs.

Highlander Racing’s Citizen Kitty enters the Distaff in the best form of her career. A 5-year-old Washington-bred by Proud Citizen, Citizen Kitty already has two stakes wins at the meet for trainer Jeff Metz including a 4½-length romp in the July 16 Boeing Stakes.

With Julien Couton riding, Citizen Kitty ran one mile in 1:36.84 and earned a career-high 82 Beyer. She has four wins and two seconds in her last six starts at Emerald Downs.

Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer – winner of a record three Emerald Distaffs – ships up Plastered for this year’s race. A 4-year-old Kentucky-bred by Wilburn, Plastered is 6-1-3 in 14 starts with earnings of $129,410 and gets Evin Roman to ride.

Chronologic’sghost, runner-up to Perhaps a Pie in the 2016 Distaff, gets another crack in 2017 with Anne Sanguinetti aboard for J.C Racing Stable. A 5-year-old Texas-bred by Parading, Chronologic’sghost is winless in three starts this year but has a good history at Emerald Downs.

A record four 3-year-old fillies are entered in the Distaff: Washington Oaks winner Little Dancer, Irish Day Stakes winner Top Quality, 2016 Gottstein Futurity winner Blazinbeauty and Washington Oaks third-place finisher Reginella.
