King Kranz wins the Lost in the Fog Stakes

Joe Labozzetta/NYRA King Kranz won the six-furlong Lost in the Fog, and will stretch out to 1 1/16 miles in the Withers.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Only four horses were entered Wednesday for Saturday’s $100,000 Fred “Cappy” Capossela Stakes, and the racing office opted not to card it. It will be brought back for Sunday’s card – entries were to be taken Thursday – to see if more horses may be entered.

Jan’s Reserve, the winner of the King’s Swan Stakes and the runner-up to King Kranz in the Lost in the Fog Stakes, was not entered for Saturday. Trainer Michael Dilger informed stakes coordinator Andrew Byrnes that the horse had a foot issue that prevented him from running.

King Kranz, who finished fifth of six in last Saturday’s Grade 3 Withers Stakes going 1 1/16 miles, was entered back for the Capossela on Saturday, according to assistant trainer Tonja Terranova. Terranova said the horse came out of the Withers in great shape and is meant to be a sprinter.

Condo King, Moon Over a Beauty, and Zen Papa also were entered for Saturday.
