Miller sending trio east for stakes on Pegasus program
ARCADIA, Calif. – The multiple Grade 1 winner Spiced Perfection and the graded stakes winners Mo Forza and Texas Wedge are scheduled to start at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 25 for trainer Peter Miller.
Spiced Perfection was withdrawn from Saturday’s Grade 3 La Canada Stakes at 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita in favor of the Grade 2 Inside Information Stakes at seven furlongs at Gulfstream Park later this month. Miller said on Saturday that the owners of Spiced Perfection – Adam Wachtel, Peter Deutsch, and Len Schleifer – want to keep the 5-year-old mare in one-turn races.
Mo Forza, the winner of three consecutive turf stakes for 3-year-olds in November and December, is a candidate for the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Turf at 1 3/16 miles, which would be his first stakes appearance against older horses.
Texas Wedge, the winner of the Grade 2 Joe Hernandez Stakes at 5 1/2 furlongs on turf at Santa Anita on Jan. 1, is scheduled to start in the $150,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint at five furlongs.
