OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Trainer Chad Brown made a lineup change for Sunday’s rescheduled Miss Grillo Stakes at Aqueduct, but it serves to only make him feel better about his chances to win the turf stakes for 2-year-old fillies a record 10th time. Brown has three runners in the Miss Grillo, a 1 1/16-mile turf stakes originally scheduled for Sept. 29 but postponed due to rain which forced the New York Racing Association to not conduct turf racing that day. The extra week gave Brown the confidence to enter Lavender Disaster, who now has three weeks since her maiden win here on Sept. 15, as opposed to two had the race been run last Sunday. Brown did not enter Opulent Restraint back in the Miss Grillo and instead will point her to the Chelsey Flower Stakes on Oct. 20. He no longer plans to point her to the Breeders’ Cup. Brown did enter back Virgin Colada and Marvelous Madison, both of whom were part of the original Miss Grillo field. The winner of the Miss Grillo earns an automatic berth into the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf on Nov. 1 at Del Mar. Brown has won the Juvenile Fillies Turf a record six times and believes Lavender Disaster fits the profile of many of those winners. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs!

Lavender Disaster finally made it to the races on Sept. 15 at Aqueduct, winning a 1 1/16-mile maiden race by a half-length at odds of 3-5. “I think she would have been one of our debuting stars [at Saratoga],” Brown said. “It was frustrating we couldn’t quite get her in the entry box. She identified herself as a serious talent. By Aug. 1 we knew what we had.” Irad Ortiz Jr. will ride Lavender Disaster from post 10. Virgin Colada, a daughter of More Than Ready, won her debut at Saratoga on July 21 by a half-length before finishing second to Totally Justified in the P.G. Johnson Stakes on Aug. 28. “Both of her starts were very good. Her second start was no fault of her own, she got caught in a paceless race,” Brown said. “She’s been one of my favorites in the group of juvenile filly turf horses of my prospects as they start to identify themselves in early July. She’s right at the top of the list.” Virgin Colada, who originally had the rail, now has post 3. Brown’s other entrant, Marvelous Madison, won a New York-bred turf sprint at Saratoga on Sept. 2. Brown believes the filly can stretch out. There just wasn’t a New York-bred opportunity to run long during Saratoga. She will have to overcome post 12 under Manny Franco. “She’s got speed. On the stretch-out if she breaks clean, before the turn, hopefully, she’ll be guiding herself over,” Brown said. “I entered in route races three times and they didn’t go. I’m confident she can get the distance.” The Miss Grillo did undergo other revisions as well from last week. May Day Ready, who would have been one of the choices, was to run in Friday’s Jessamine at Keeneland. Good Conduct and Pookie, also part of the original Miss Grillo lineup, are in a maiden race immediately preceding the Miss Grillo. New to the field are Daisy Flyer and She’s Got Will, both of whom were relegated to also-eligible status in the Jessamine. She’s Got Will is trained by Mark Casse, who also has Shifty in the Miss Grillo. Shifty, after finishing fifth in a maiden at Woodbine, came back to win the Catch a Glimpse Stakes at 6 1/2 furlongs at Woodbine on Aug. 23. Casse is confident Shifty can stretch out to 1 1/16 miles on Sunday. “Her pedigree says she will,” Casse said. “She trains as good as any 2-year-old we have, that’s why we ran her in the stakes [as a maiden]. She ran fast and won, but that’s a sprint around one turn. She has to show she can carry it.” Casse did have to make a rider change on Shifty, going to Dylan Davis, as Jose Ortiz is in Kentucky. Salt, Grace and Grit, Rare Art, Scythian, Annie Goodbody, and Correto complete the Miss Grillo field. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
