Just Might sticking to turf - at least for now

After Just Might popped a career-best 101 Beyer Speed Figure airing in the off-turf Colonel Power Stakes on Feb. 13 at Fair Grounds, trainer Michelle Lovell toyed with keeping the gelding in dirt races this spring. But since Fair Grounds has an open turf-sprint allowance race for older horses set for March 13, Just Might will be pointed to that race as a prep toward the Shakertown Stakes, an April turf sprint at Keeneland.

Lovell, who co-bred and co-owns Just Might, also has a talented female turf sprinter in Change of Control stabled at Fair Grounds, and there’s an open turf-sprint allowance race for her March 19. The two horses worked a half-mile in company Feb. 28 at Fair Grounds, with Change of Control going in 47.40, Just Might in 47.80.
