"Set your eyes on Juliette," Zavaray Poonwalla told the cheering crowds. Zavaray went on to explain that Juliette had two more options--either racing abroad, or retiring to the stud for broodmare duties. "I am undecided as of now, but have a good look at her," he added, "you might be seeing her for the last time on an Indian racetrack."

Juliette also holds a unique record of winning three successive Invitation Cups (2022-23-24). "Four years ago when Juliette was a four-year-old, if anyone had told me she would make a hat-trick of the Invitation Cups, I would have laughed," trainer Karthik G said, before adding, "I must thank Mr Zavaray Poonawalla who had the confidence, and staunch conviction, to keep her in training even at the age of eight!"
