Thiscatcanjam emerged in good order from her splashy stakes debut in last Saturday’s Acadiana Stakes, and her connections are eyeing Louisiana Legends Night in July for her next start. The 3-year-old daughter of Big Top Cat ran her career record to three wins from four starts by making short work of eight other Louisiana-bred fillies in the Acadiana, kicking clear by 3 1/2 lengths while going seven furlongs.
Rock and Glory was well in hand when she crushed her opponents going six furlongs in the $50,000 Wild Rose Handicap on May 16 in her first start at Northlands Park. Given that she is a much better horse going a middle distance, the question becomes: Who is going to finish second in the $50,000 John Patrick at Northlands on Friday evening?
The classy Maryland shipper Final Redemption tries to end a drought on Friday at Woodbine in the $58,600 feature on the grass. Perhaps a cutback in distance to seven furlongs will enable her to get back on track in the first-level allowance.
Flirting Clara (#8, ML 9-2) returns in Wednesday’s fourth race at Penn National, a six-furlong claiming race. It will be her first start since finishing fourth by 2 1/4 lengths in a claiming race May 8 at Penn National. The first- and second-place finishers from that race came back to win their next starts.
