Frank's Folly gets her shot in Busanda

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – While trainer Kelly Breen prepares Tempted and Demoiselle stakes winner Miss Sky Warrior for her 3-year-old debut, he will seek another New York stakes victory with a young filly when he runs Frank’s Folly in Sunday’s $100,000 Busanda Stakes for 3-year-old fillies.

Frank’s Folly, a daughter of Mineshaft, ships up from Gulfstream following an off-the-turf maiden win going 1 1/16 miles on Dec. 11.

“It was a matter of getting her out of Florida and making sure she goes two turns,” Breen said, adding that the distance “was the key to her success.”

The horse to beat in the Busanda is Libby’s Tail, who lost by a head in the Grade 1 Frizette before finishing fourth to Miss Sky Warrior in the Demoiselle.

Frank’s Folly drew the rail, followed to her outside by Sand Shark, Libby’s Tail, No Swat, and Lockdown.

The Busanda, which goes as race 3, offers qualifying points to the top four finishers (10-4-2-1) toward the Kentucky Oaks on May 5.

As for Miss Sky Warrior, Breen said he plans to work the filly at Palm Meadows in south Florida for a second time this year on Saturday. He has not selected where she will make her 3-year-old debut.
