Daredevil gets freshening at WinStar
Barbara D. Livingston Daredevil could target the King's Bishop Stakes this summer at Saratoga.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Daredevil, beaten 12 lengths when finishing fourth as the favorite in Saturday’s Grade 1 Wood Memorial, has been sent to WinStar Farm for a freshening and will be pointed to a summer return, trainer Todd Pletcher said Wednesday.
Pletcher said Daredevil came out of the Wood sound and will be kept in races around one turn for the time being.
“We’ll focus on Saratoga; we kicked around the King’s Bishop as a target, with a race prior to that,” Pletcher said.
The King’s Bishop is a Grade 1 race at seven furlongs Aug. 29. The traditional prep for that race is the Grade 2, $200,000 Amsterdam Stakes, scheduled for Aug. 1.
