Great Stuff possible for Westchester

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Great Stuff finished third in the Grade 1 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct on April 7, and wherever he runs next, he figures to get some class relief since he won’t have to face Carter winner Army Mule.
Trainer David Jacobson said he is considering several options for Great Stuff, including the Grade 3, $200,000 Westchester at Belmont Park on May 5. That race is at a mile.
Jacobson said Great Stuff was “too far back” in the Carter, at seven furlongs. “That’s why I think a mile could be good for him,” he said. “He could lay close.”
Jacobson said he likely will enter Great Stuff for the main track only in the Elusive Quality, a seven-furlong turf stakes at Belmont on April 28.
Jacobson said his multiple stakes-winning sprinter Stallwalkin’ Dude recently rejoined his New York stable after a rest on the farm. Jacobson said Stallwalkin’ Dude could return to the races in mid-June.
