Glengarry nears return to racing

Glengarry is gearing up for a return to the races. One of the most accomplished 3-year-olds in training at Oaklawn, he was given some time after his runner-up finish in the $300,000 Springboard Mile at Remington Park in December.

“We’re just kind of getting back going,” trainer Doug Anderson said Saturday. “We worked him Friday. He worked good – just a nice, easy, first half-mile since he’d run. Our plans are kind of up in the air right now. We’ll see how he keeps progressing and go from there.”

Anderson said after the Springboard Mile that the decision was made to keep Glengarry at one turn rather than continuing to chase points for the Kentucky Derby.

Glengarry won the Bowman Mill last October at Keeneland, and before that was a double-digit winner of the Iowa Cradle at Prairie Meadows. Overall, the son of Maximus Mischief is 3 for 4.

Anderson said Glengarry could return in either the $400,000 Lafayette at seven furlongs on April 5 at Keeneland or the $200,000 Bachelor at six furlongs April 27 at Oaklawn.

“I think he’d like the seven-eighths real well,” Anderson said.

◗ Jockey Kylee Jordan, who dislocated a shoulder during a Feb. 2 race at Oaklawn, had a “shoulder procedure” last week and is scheduled to miss the next 60 days, according to her agent, Bobby Dean. He said she could return at the end of Oaklawn, but is definite for the upcoming meet at Prairie Meadows. Jordan has won titles at Prairie Meadows and Will Rogers.

◗ Bellamore meets Comparative and Shotgun Hottie in the eight-horse Azeri, a Grade 2, $400,000 stakes on Saturday.

◗ Tyler’s Tribe returns from a layoff in a Sunday allowance.
