No Mo Dough targets Jim Dandy
Barbara D. Livingston No Mo Dough and jockey Jose Ortiz win the Sir Barton Stakes by 2 3/4 lengths.
ELMONT, N.Y. – No Mo Dough, who rallied from next to last to win the Sir Barton Stakes at Pimlico last Saturday, will get a bit of a freshening and point to the Grade 2, $600,000 Jim Dandy at Saratoga, trainer Graham Motion said Monday.
No Mo Dough, a son of Uncle Mo, had three races in a 38-day period, two at Keeneland and the Sir Barton. No Mo Dough is not nominated to the Triple Crown, and it would cost $75,000 to supplement him to the Belmont Stakes.
“He’s had three races pretty close together,” Motion said on Steve Byk’s “At the Races” radio program on Monday. “I’d like to give him plenty of time to get over it, and I think a race like the Jim Dandy would be a race that would be on our radar.”
