La Sardane staying in New York for now
Barbara D. Livingston La Sardane earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 92 for her victory in Thursday's Grade 3 Intercontinental.
ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainer Neil Drysdale was back in Southern California Friday morning, but his filly La Sardane will remain in New York for the foreseeable future following her neck victory in Thursday’s Grade 3, $200,000 Intercontinental Stakes here.
Drysdale said there are no immediate plans for La Sardane who earned a 92 Beyer Speed Figure for her victory, running seven furlongs in 1:20.04.
“In my mind, she’s a miler,” Drysdale said. “Didn’t think she was ready for the Just a Game. We’ll figure it out. She’s on the right track.”
Drysdale has Toinette stabled at Belmont preparing for the $1 million Belmont Oaks, so La Sardane may stay here until that race is run.
