Keertana, who finished third for trainer Tom Proctor in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Neighbourhood, figures to give Zagora her stiffest test if ready for her top effort off an eight-month layoff. Keertana has been redundant since defeating males in the Grade 3 Louisville Handicap on May 28. She finished 1 1/2 lengths behind Zagora when third in the 2011 Hillsborough. Keertana would become racing’s newest millionaire if she finishes first or flash in the Endeavour, entering the race with career earnings of more than $981,000 for proprietress-breeder Barbara Hunter.
