SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Immersive, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2024 who was sidelined earlier this year by bone bruising, is scheduled to make her 3-year-old debut in the $175,000 Monomoy Girl Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 14, trainer Brad Cox said.
At 1 1/16 miles, the Monomoy Girl could set Immersive up for a return to graded stakes company later this summer at Saratoga with potential spots being the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks on July 19 and/or the Grade 1 Alabama on Aug. 16.
Immersive, a daughter of Uncle Mo owned and bred by Godolphin, went 4 for 4 as a 2-year-old, winning her maiden and the Grade 1 Spinaway at Saratoga, the Grade 1 Alcibiades at Keeneland, and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar.
Following time to recover from the bone bruising, Immersive returned to the work tab on May 2 and shows five breezes in May with a sixth likely to come this weekend at Churchill.
“She’s really doing well, she had a nice five-eighths [work] this weekend, and looks every bit as good this year as she did last year,” Cox said. “She’s a three-time Grade 1 winner and that’s a good race to get her started.”
