Corluna to cut back on distance for Wednesday race

Corluna, a multiple stakes winner in her native Texas, returns to the overnight ranks Wednesday night at Remington Park in Oklahoma City.

She goes in race 8, a conditioned allowance at a mile on turf that carries an optional claiming price of $40,000. The race, for fillies and mares, drew eight including main-track-only entrant Blue Moonrise.

Corluna exits a third-place finish in the $60,000 Ricks Memorial on Sept. 27 at Remington Park. That race was over 1 1/16 miles. Shortening up some in distance Saturday could serve her cause as both of her stakes wins have come over 7 1/2 furlongs. Richard Eramia has the mount from the rail for Ian Yarnot and trainer Sarah Delany.
