Kant Hurry Love being pointed to What a Summer at Laurel Park

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Kant Hurry Love, who came off a 5 1/2-month layoff to win the Garland of Roses Stakes on Dec. 8, will most likely make her next start in the $100,000 What a Summer Stakes on Jan. 18 at Laurel Park, trainer David Duggan said.

Duggan said the lack of a six-furlong opportunity in New York for Kant Hurry Love is what made him look out of town. The next six-furlong stakes for females in New York is the $125,000 Correction on March 2.

Duggan said the $150,000 Interborough going seven furlongs at Aqueduct on Jan. 25 “is a waste of a race for me. We’ve tried, it doesn’t work.”

Kant Hurry Love, a New York-bred daughter of Kantharos, missed the summer and early fall races due to a bruised foot. Duggan said Kant Hurry Love’s recovery was aided by swimming in a pool.

“Keeps the weight off their feet,” Duggan said. “We diagnosed a bad bruise, it kept on lingering, tried to bring her back, and just couldn’t get it right.”

Duggan said the future for Kant Hurry Love following the What a Summer is not clearly defined. She could be sold at auction in February, bred by her current connections, and/or possibly run in the Correction in March and then be bred.

Kant Hurry Love has a record of 7-8-5 from 23 starts with earnings of $599,850.
