Miller looking to stakes for Threefiveindia

DEL MAR, Calif. – Threefiveindia, who made a dull main track look fast with a runaway victory in an upper-level allowance on Thursday, will be pointed to stakes racing next, trainer Peter Miller said Friday.

Threefiveindia ran six furlongs in 1:09.20 while winning by 3 1/2 lengths under Abel Cedillo, who has ridden him to two front-running victories since he was claimed in September for $40,000. His win on Thursday was earned while coming back on just 13 days’ rest.

“We’ll look for a stakes race but give him plenty of rest this time, something like four to six weeks,” said Miller, who said Threefiveindia has thrived training at San Luis Rey Downs.

◗ Mo Forza, upset winner of the Twilight Derby on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita, worked a half-mile at Del Mar in 50 seconds on Friday morning for Miller as he readies for the Hollywood Derby.

Bast works for Starlet

Bast finished third in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies in her last start, and she had her first work since then when she went a half-mile in 48.20 seconds on Friday morning at Santa Anita for trainer Bob Baffert. She is expected to start next in the Grade 1 Starlet at Los Alamitos on Dec. 7.

Also at Santa Anita on Friday, Santa Anita Derby winner Roadster – second last time out in the Damascus at Santa Anita on Nov. 2 – worked six furlongs in 1:12.20 for Baffert, and the grass filly Croughavouke, sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 1, went a half-mile in 51.20 seconds for Jeff Mullins. She is scheduled to make her next start in the Jimmy Durante.

Santa Anita notified trainers that following training on Monday the cushion of the main track will be re-blended and reconditioned. No works will be allowed on the main track Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. The training track will be open, with works permitted there.
