Marino's Wild Cat eyes repeat in Lost in the Fog

Defending race winner Marino’s Wild Cat, who hasn’t started since a third-place finish last April that snapped a three-race win streak, is expected to make his return in next Monday’s $50,000 Lost in the Fog at six furlongs at Golden Gate Fields. He has had 13 works since the end of last October, winding up with a six-furlong move in 1:10.80 on Feb. 3.

“He should be ready,” trainer Cliff DeLima said of his multiple stakes winner.

Trainer Blaine Wright plans to enter Holdthismiss, just claimed for $62,500 on Jan. 1, and Mah Gellin.

Hollendorfer said he might enter either Outside Nashville, a two-time stakes winner over the track, or multiple graded stakes winner Sahara Sky, but he wasn’t sure which, if either, he would enter.

Trainer Frank Lucarelli is holding his options open for Next Speaker, although he’d rather run him in an optional claimer.
