Aqueduct
Midnight Disguise to Busher
Alysse Jacobs/NYRA Midnight Disguise will be pointed to the March. 3 Busher Stakes.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Midnight Disguise, the 4 1/4-length winner of the Busanda Stakes on Jan. 25 at Aqueduct, will most likely make her next start in the $200,000 Busher Stakes here March 3, trainer Linda Rice said Monday.
While the Busher will mean cutting back to a one-turn mile after a successful trip going 1 1/8 miles around two turns, Rice believes it’s the best option to get to the Grade 2, $300,000 Gazelle on April 7.
Midnight Disguise, a New York-bred daughter of Midnight Lute, has won 3 of 4 starts and finished second in the East View. Midnight Disguise earned a 76 Beyer Speed Figure for her Busanda victory.
