Anderson considers sending Insensitive to Groupie Doll
?q=100)
Insensitive has won back-to-back stakes at her Prairie Meadows base and now could be headed to Kentucky.
Trainer Doug Anderson said Tuesday that the winner of the recent Iowa Distaff is under serious consideration for the $200,000 Groupie Doll, a one-mile race for fillies and mares at Ellis Park on Aug. 10.
“It would be nice get some black type from Kentucky,” Anderson said. “That would help her on down the road.”
Insensitive won her first stakes in June in the Jack Bishop and returned for a length win in the Iowa Distaff. For the Distaff, she earned a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 83.
“She’s really matured and done everything we’ve asked her to do,” said Anderson, who co-owns the 5-year-old with breeder Rose Hill Farm and Charles Bush.
The Iowa Distaff was one of two stakes wins Anderson had on the first card of the Iowa Festival of Racing on July 4. Glengarry accounted for the second in the Iowa Sprint.
“We had a very good day,” said Anderson.
Glengarry won his second straight stakes at the meet in the Iowa Sprint, where he set the pace and prevailed by 1 1/2 lengths under Tyler Bacon.
“I really liked that fact that he gave him a little breather,” Anderson said of the ride from Bacon. “They kind of came up to [Glengarry] a little bit and [Bacon] asked him and he responded real well. Glengarry’s really matured and he’s become real professional about what he goes about doing.”
Anderson also is pleased with how Glengarry emerged from the Iowa Sprint.
“He acts like it didn’t take too much out of him, so we’re trying to look for something else now,” he said. “It’s quite a dry spell between now and Classic Night for Iowa-breds, so we’re going to have to really sit down and look and see what we’re going to do.”
Glengarry’s final objective this meet at Prairie Meadows is the $100,000 Dan Johnson Sprint for 3-year-olds and up bred in Iowa. The six-furlong race will be held Sept. 27.
