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.
Juliette Marny was a bay mare with no white markings bred in Wiltshire by the Fonthill Stud which was managed by James Ian Morrison, the filly's owner throughout her racing career. 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".
Set Free was a moderate racehorse, with a best Timeform rating of 90, 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.
The filly, named after the heroine of the novel I Will Repay, was sent into training with Jeremy Tree at Beckhampton in Wiltshire.
