Classy Class staying in New York

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin will send recent maiden winners Ocean Knight and Perchance to south Florida this week but will keep Classy Class in New York and point him to the Jerome on Jan. 3.

Classy Class, a debut winner at Belmont on Oct. 25, finished fourth in the Grade 2 Remsen.

“We don’t think any less of him,” McLaughlin said from south Florida. “We’ll leave him up there to represent us.”

McLaughlin said he would see how Classy Class runs in the Jerome before deciding whether to keep him in New York or ship him to south Florida.
