When last seen at the races, Carson’s Run finished ninth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita last November. The subsequent success of the horses who finished eighth and 10th in that race should boost the confidence of the connections and backers of Carson’s Run, who makes his 3-year-old debut in Saturday’s $125,000 Woodhaven Stakes at Aqueduct. Endlessly, who finished eighth in the Juvenile Turf, has come back to win two stakes. Stay Hot, the 10th-place finisher in the Juvenile Turf, has come back to win three stakes in Southern California. “The Breeders’ Cup was a very good race,” said Christophe Clement, trainer of Carson’s Run, referring to the depth of the field. “When you go to California, if you draw outside, it’s a killer. If you don’t have a good draw, it’s almost a waste of a race.” While the Breeders’ Cup may have been a disappointment for Carson’s Run – who broke from the outside in that 11-horse field – the rest of his 2-year-old campaign certainly was not. He won a maiden race at Saratoga, had a wide trip when second to the precocious filly Gala Brand in the With Anticipation Stakes, and then captured the Grade 1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine. Clement is hopeful that Carson’s Run has made some improvement from 2 to 3 but having worked him exclusively on dirt, he said “it’s difficult to judge” if that is the case. “You always have a small question how much improvement did he do from 2 to 3?” Clement said. :: Get the Inside Track with the FREE DRF Morning Line Email Newsletter.

Good Lord Lorrie, a debut winner at Saratoga last August, returns from an eight-month layoff for trainer George Weaver. In his maiden victory, at 5 1/2 furlongs, Good Lord Lorrie had to steady soon after the start and then made a wide rally turning for home. Despite attempting to lug in twice in the stretch and bobbling close to home, she won by one length. Good Lord Lorrie worked once after her victory but went to the sidelines with some physical issues. He has a solid string of works leading to his two-turn debut. “He definitely acted like he had enough gas to go 5 1/2 [furlongs], he can be a little eager in his workouts at times,” Weaver said. “With his pedigree and knowing how well he trains and what we see in the mornings, I’m confident, as long as he can rate, drop his head and settle he’ll be fine going two turns.” Good Lord Lorrie, by Hard Spun, is a half-brother to Bletchley Park, who this year has gone 3 for 3, all in two-turn races run on the synthetic surface at Golden Gate Fields. Walley World, trained by Chad Brown, won his maiden at Aqueduct last fall and subsequently finished second in the Central Park Stakes last November and second to Full Nelson in a Tampa Bay Downs allowance in February. Full Nelson did come back to win the Columbia Stakes before finishing 10th in the Grade 3 Transylvania Stakes. Ridgewood Runner, eighth in the Bay Shore Stakes last out, and The Big Torpedo, who will be trying turf for the first time, look like the speed of the field. Elysian Meadows, sixth in the Wood Memorial, also is transferring to turf, a surface his mother, Heavenly Thought, went 1 for 6 on in her career. Works for Me, third in the six-furlong Atlantic Beach Stakes here last November, completes the field. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
