Divine Miss Grey may go longer
ELMONT, N.Y. – Divine Miss Grey zipped a half-mile in 47.07 seconds Friday morning over the Belmont training track.
Trainer Danny Gargan said he is considering stretching the multiple stakes-winning miler out in distance in a race such as the Grade 2, $200,000 Fleur de Lis at Churchill Downs on June 16. The Fleur de Lis is run at 1 1/8 miles.
“She has a real high cruising speed,” Gargan said. “I think she can go long. I think her mile races are her best races. She’s bred to go long and I think that track will suit her.”
Dylan Davis gets married
Not sure what you did on your day off, but jockey Dylan Davis married longtime fiancée Sara Rowland last Monday on his. Davis, 23, and Rowland had a child last August.
“We’ve been engaged for almost two years,” Davis said Friday. “We were pretty much married anyway. We already had the baby. Everyone’s happy. My family’s happy.”
On the track, Davis had a solid winter at Aqueduct with 47 winners. Things have quieted a bit since, however, as Davis went 8 for 75 at Aqueduct’s spring meet and has begun Belmont’s spring-summer meet 4 for 44.
