Got Stormy decision: Saratoga, or Del Mar?

Opening day at Saratoga, or opening Saturday at Del Mar?

Those are the options before the connections of Got Stormy, who followed her win in the $200,000 Penn Oaks with a victory Saturday at Belmont in the Wild Applause Stakes. Both races were turf miles, and trainer Mark Casse and owner Gary Barber had initially planned to make that Got Stormy’s maximum distance.

But there is reason, Casse said, to think the filly might get a little farther, and thus she is being considered for $150,000 Lake George Stakes over 1 1/16 miles on July 20 at Saratoga.

The Del Mar race for Got Stormy is the $200,000 San Clemente over one mile on July 21.

“We had been trying to keep her at a mile or less, but talking to Johnny (Velazquez) this morning, he seems to think she can go farther than a mile,” Casse said Sunday.

Got Stormy, a daughter of Get Stormy, was a $45,000 2-year-old auction buy. Barber privately purchased her following a fourth-place maiden finish at Gulfstream Park this past January in her second start.
