I Still Miss You to wait for Schuylerville

ELMONT, N.Y. – I Still Miss You, the New York-bred filly who has won both of her starts, including the Astoria Stakes here on June 8, most likely will make her next start in the Grade 3, $150,000 Schuylerville on July 21, opening day of Saratoga.

I Still Miss You is eligible for the $100,000 Lynbrook Stakes on July 16, closing day of the Belmont meet, but trainer Jeremiah Englehart said, “The numbers came back, and she improved a lot from her first start to her second start, so I’m in favor of giving her the extra time.”

I Still Miss You, a daughter of Majestic Warrior owned by a partnership led by Gold Star Racing Stable, won her debut against statebreds at Belmont by 3 1/2 lengths on May 11 with a Beyer Speed Figure of 63. She came back four weeks later to win the Astoria against open company by 2 1/4 lengths and earned a Beyer of 75.

“I liked the way she fought off every challenge,” Englehart said. “Even galloping out, none of the horses were able to get by her. With 2-year-olds, it’s great to have them win, but to have her rushed and get the lead and go on, that’s not exactly what you want to teach. I think she’s a very smart filly. Even if she didn’t make the lead, I’d like to think she could handle it.”
