Alabama long-range target for Weep No More
Barbara D. Livingston Weep No More, seventh in the Kentucky Oaks, will be pointed to the Alabama at Saratoga.
Trainer Rusty Arnold intends to target the Grade 1 Alabama at Saratoga this summer with Weep No More, who finished seventh at 6-1 in the Kentucky Oaks, according to assistant Jack Bohannan.
“She’s being sent to Keeneland and might get a couple weeks off at the farm,” said Bohannan. “The Alabama, with maybe a race before, is the tentative plan, as I understand it.”
The winner of the Grade 1 Ashland in her prior start, Weep No More incurred a spot of trouble along the rail near the five-furlong pole in the Oaks before failing to make a serious bid.
