Divine Miss Grey eyes Barbara Fritchie Handicap

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Divine Miss Grey, dominant winner of Monday’s $100,000 Interborough Stakes at Aqueduct, will point to the Grade 2, $300,000 Barbara Fritchie Handicap at Laurel Park on Feb. 17, trainer Danny Gargan said Thursday.

Gargan said Divine Miss Grey came out of the Interborough “great” and he sees no need to stop on her now that she’s in such good form. Divine Miss Grey won the Interborough by 3 1/4 lengths a month after she won an allowance race here by 3 3/4 lengths.

“As long as she keeps winning, we’re going to run her,” Gargan said. “Maybe she likes the cold weather. She was a bleeder when I claimed her but she seems to have gotten over that.”

Divine Miss Grey earned a 93 Beyer Speed Figure for the Interborough victory, her first in a stakes race.
