Lost Raven should get nice setup in Victory Ride

ELMONT, N.Y. – Lost Raven showed a new dimension when she rallied from eighth to win the Grade 3 Miss Preakness Stakes at Pimlico on May 20. That off-the-pace style might suit her well again in Saturday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Victory Ride Stakes, a 6 1/2-furlong race that has plenty of speed types in its nine-horse field.

Lost Raven, a daughter of Uncle Mo, won the Cicada Stakes at Aqueduct on the lead prior to the Miss Preakness. She will break from post 8 under John Velazquez.

The Victory Ride is loaded with speed, including Behrnik’s Bank, Coppa, and Appealing Maggie. Completing the field are One True Kiss, the runner-up in the Miss Preakness, Blast, Flatterywillgetyou, Stradivarius, and Malibu Stacy.

The Victory Ride is the first leg of an all-stakes pick six that has a $300,000-guaranteed pool. First post is 12:30 p.m. Eastern.
