OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Ellen Jay will seek her first stakes victory in Friday’s rescheduled $135,000 Glen Cove Stakes at Aqueduct in a field that will look a lot less intimidating at the starting gate than it does on paper. The Glen Cove, a six-furlong turf race for 3-year-old fillies, was postponed a week when an unhealthy air quality issue forced the New York Racing Association to cancel that day’s card. There were several changes to the lineup when the race was redrawn, but ultimately it looks like it will go with a familiar five-horse field at post time. The rescheduled race drew eight, but Kairyu, Twirling Queen, and Progeny are all expected to scratch. Kairyu ran sixth in Sunday’s Grade 2 Franklin Stakes at Keeneland on Sunday; Twirling Queen will run in Saturday’s Grade 2, $350,000 Raven Run Stakes on dirt at Keeneland, according to trainer Jose D’Angelo; and Progeny, trained by George Weaver, was entered back in an allowance on Saturday. :: Bet with the Best!

Ellen Jay, a daughter of Constitution and the first foal out of the female dirt sprint champion Covfefe, is 2 for 2 since trainer Brad Cox transferred her to the turf. She was a nose winner of a maiden race at Ellis Park on July 15 and a 5 3/4-length winner of a first-level allowance, also at Ellis, on Aug. 10. “Her first run on turf was okay. She was saved by the wire I guess you would say,” said Cox, who trains Ellen Jay for the LNJ Foxwoods stable of Larry, Nanci, and Jaime Roth. “And then she just put it all together in her last run. She’s super talented, we think a lot of her. I’m not saying she’s her mother, but she can really run. I think she’s just starting to figure things out.” Moonlit Lady was not originally entered for the Glen Cove because she had just run second in a high-class allowance race at Keeneland on Oct. 4. But the one-week delay prompted trainer Fausto Gutierrez to ship Moonlit Lady here, lured by the opportunity to run with just 3-year-olds this late in the year. Moonlit Lady figures to be on the lead under Ramon Vazquez. Trainer Mark Casse brought back his two fillies from a week ago in Ready to Jam and Time to Dazzle. The latter won the Grade 3 Ontario Colleen at a mile before finishing a close fourth in the Grade 2 Music City Stakes going 6 1/2 furlongs at Kentucky Downs. “She got in all kinds of trouble at Kentucky Downs,” Casse said. “The filly she beat convincingly the time before [Simply in Front] won that race. She can be her own worst enemy. The key to her is one turn.” Agra, a second-level allowance winner at Kentucky Downs on Aug. 31, completes the field. Carle Place Stakes Smokey Smokey returns to the site of his last victory while also seemingly finding class relief in Friday’s $135,000 Carle Place Stakes for 3-year-old turf sprinters at Aqueduct. In May, Smokey Smokey scored a narrow, pace-pressing victory in the Paradise Creek Stakes going six furlongs at Aqueduct. Since then, Smokey Smokey finished fifth in the Grade 3 Quick Call at Saratoga and eighth in the Grade 1 Franklin-Simpson at Kentucky Downs. Joe Shiesty, Apollo Ten, and Bear River the 12th-, 10th- and sixth-place finishers, respectively, from the Franklin-Simpson, came back to run one-two-four in a high-class allowance at Keeneland on Oct. 6. As was the case when he won here in May, Smokey Smokey has the outside post in what is a nine-horse field. Luis Rivera Jr. has the call for trainer Mike Maker. Run Carson and Works for Me finished second and fifth in the Mahony Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 11. That race proved productive as Howard Wolowitz, fourth in the Mahony, came back to win the Grade 1 Franklin-Simpson while Reef Runner, eighth in the Mahony, came back to win the Bob Umphrey Stakes at Gulfstream. Run Carson, trained by Kelsey Danner, had some traffic down the backside when finishing sixth in the allowance won by Joe Shiesty. Works for Me has not run back since the Mahony, where he finished a late-running, wide fifth, beaten 1 3/4 lengths. Trainer Joe Lee said Works for Me missed some training time due to a foot issue that occurred when the horse was being reshod following a Sept. 14 workout. Lee was able to squeeze in two works in six days for Works for Me, but still feels he’s a work short of the horse being able to produce his best effort. Twisted Filigree, coming out of New York-bred allowance race, could be interesting at a price. Trainer George Weaver is adding blinkers for this race. “I feel confident the blinkers are going to help him,” Weaver said. “His speed figures are a little bit light but I think he could be effective in a spot like that.” Weaver also sends out Live High Live Low, coming out of an allowance race going a mile at the Meadowlands on Sept. 28. Little Ni and One Sharp Cookie are both trying turf for the first time. Barksdale has shown to be fast on dirt. Typhoon Fury is coming off a win for $40,000 claiming. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
