Trainers Chad Brown and Michelle Nevin each send out two runners in a six-horse field of older maiden males in the third race Friday at Aqueduct, the only non-claiming event on the eight-race card. Brown’s pair of Clare Quilty and Pricing Power finished second and fourth, respectively, in a seven-furlong maiden race Feb. 9. After breaking slow, Pricing Power was coaxed to the front and set the pace while Clare Quilty went to challenge around the far turn. Pricing Power had the lead until the sixteenth pole when Clare Quilty went by him, but Hero’s Medal ran by them both for the win. That was the first career start for Clare Quilty, a 4-year-old son of Into Mischief owned by Peter Brant. Brown has good numbers with second-time starters, including going 6 for 21 at Aqueduct since last October. Pricing Power, a 5-year-old gelding by Nyquist, finished 10th in his debut at Keeneland in October 2022. Last month’s race was his first since then. Clare Quilty will break from the rail under Manny Franco, while Pricing Power has the outside post under the meet’s leading rider, Dylan Davis. Nevin’s pair is topped by Light the Way, a 4-year-old son of Justify out of By the Light, making him a half-brother to Grade 1 winner By the Moon. Light the Way has finished third in his last three starts, including a 6 1/2-furlong race on Dec. 9 at Aqueduct. Nevin’s other runner, Login Required, has three seconds and a third from eight career starts. On Dec. 9, he finished 3 1/2 lengths clear of By the Light. Login Required actually crossed the finish line first in his career debut on Aug. 22 at Monmouth Park but was disqualified for interference and placed third. Bolt d’Plata twice shied away from horses in his last start, but still showed some grit in the lane to finish third, a length behind Clare Quilty in that Feb. 9 race. Egypt has finished second in his two most recent starts. On Dec. 8, he altered course and rallied along the rail while being outfinished by Lord Vicente who came from last and down the center of the track to get the win. Egypt has not run in 91 days. Trainer Horacio De Paz is 1 for 35 over the last year with horses returning from a layoff of between 61 and 180 days, according to DRF Formulator. Evvie Jets back to work Evvie Jets, a multiple graded stakes winner on turf, had her first workout of the year Monday at Belmont Park, breezing three furlongs in 38.88 seconds as she prepares for a 6-year-old campaign. Trainer Mertkan Kantarmaci said he is pointing Evvie Jets to the Grade 1, $600,000 Jenny Wiley Stakes on April 13 at Keeneland for her seasonal debut. Evvie Jets won three stakes in 2023, topped by the Grade 2 Ballston Spa at Saratoga. She finished her season with a third-place finish in the Grade 1 First Lady at Keeneland. Owner Michael Amendola, who took over the family stable after his father, Robert, passed away, decided after the First Lady to campaign Evvie Jets one more season. “Two things we are focusing on: Hopefully we can make her a million-dollar earner and if we can [win] a Grade 1, that of course would be amazing for her,” Kantarmaci said. Evvie Jets, a daughter of Twirling Candy, has a career record of 7-6-3 from 23 starts and earnings of $770,868. She has a record of 6-5-1 and earnings of $689,708 from 16 starts since Kantarmaci and Amendola claimed for her $80,000 on Sept. 21, 2021. Following the First Lady, Evvie Jets got about three months off at the In Front Training Center in New York before returning to Kantarmaci at Belmont at the end of January. “She’s a little stronger than last year,” Kantarmaci said. “That time off after the race helped her big time.” Kantarmaci said there is time for Evvie Jets to get four or five more works in before the Jenny Wiley. He said he may even ship her to Keeneland for the final move. Evvie Jets got about three months off at the In Front Training Center in New York before returning at the end of January.
