In a span of eight days trainer Brad Cox watched both his unbeaten 3-year-old fillies go down to defeat. Good Cheer, the Kentucky Oaks winner, won her first seven before finishing a flat fifth June 6 in the Acorn Stakes at Saratoga. Cox can’t point to anything particular besides a sloppy track that produced that dull showing. Saturday at Churchill Downs, Immersive, last year’s champion 2-year-old filly, a three-time Grade 1 winner and 4 for 4 to start her career, lost her belated 3-year-old debut, finishing second by a neck in the listed Monomoy Girl Stakes. There was nothing dull about her comeback run. Immersive, making her comeback in a two-turn dirt race, had a claustrophobic inside trip just behind the pacesetter and lost a long stretch duel with the capable Take Charge Milady, a filly with a massive fitness edge. Immersive, who topped out with an 84 Beyer Speed Figure last year, got an 83 Beyer. “She never was comfortable the whole time,” Cox said. “Everybody was watching her. I thought she ran really well, and she needed the race, I do believe.” :: Get the Inside Track with the FREE DRF Morning Line Email Newsletter.

Cox, who is ridiculously loaded in the older-male dirt route division, also revealed his two intended runners – First Mission and Hit Show – for the $1 million Stephen Foster Stakes on June 28. Hit Show won the Dubai World Cup in his most recent start but will be a longer price in the Grade 1 Foster than First Mission, who landed the Grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap in his last start. A winner in half his 12 starts, First Mission, a Godolphin homebred, lacks a Grade 1 win, but with Sierra Leone and Mindframe coming from New York, the Foster will come up a tough race. “I think it’s a good lineup. If he runs his race, I think he’s one of the better horses,” Cox said Sunday. “He breezed great this weekend.” Hit Show never has been as fast as First Mission but got his Grade 1 in the $12 million Dubai World Cup. Cox said from the start that the horse appeared to have taken the race and long trip exceedingly well, and Hit Show basically went right back into training upon returning to Cox’s Churchill barn. Just a Touch, third in the Met Mile, was kept in New York, and 5-year-old Highland Falls could be joining him there sometime this summer. Highland Falls won the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup last summer at Saratoga and is just about ready to make his first start since a subpar run in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Five-year-old Saudi Crown seems almost an afterthought in the Cox pecking order despite winning seven of his 15 starts and banking more than $3.4 million. Saudi Crown beat Mystik Dan by a nose last month at Oaklawn and will run next in the $300,000 Hanshin, a one-turn Churchill mile on June 29. Cox appears to have an even better dirt miler than Saudi Crown in the 4-year-old Most Wanted. His second behind top-class Fierceness in the Alysheba Stakes on May 2 produced a 105 Beyer, and Cox cut Most Wanted back to a one-turn mile in a June 1 allowance race, which Most Wanted dominated while showing plenty of speed. Cox has two main goals for Most Wanted, the Grade 1 Forego over seven furlongs on Aug. 23 at Saratoga, and the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
