OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Just as turf racing on this circuit is coming to an end, Oversubscribed is getting her year started. Oversubscribed, last seen finishing second in the Grade 3 Pebbles Stakes at Aqueduct 53 weeks ago, makes her 4-year-old debut in Sunday’s $150,000 Forever Together Stakes, the last turf stakes to be run this year on the New York Racing Association circuit. Trainer Chad Brown said Oversubscribed had a serious lung issue that sidelined her until now, but he feels she has the talent to potentially target the $500,000 Pegasus Filly and Mare Turf on Jan. 24 at Gulfstream Park. “She had some lung issues that I had to get right, but she’s been training really well. She’s been very healthy each and every week,” Brown said. “It’s frustrating getting these higher-end turf horses started at the end of the season. It’s not ideal at all, but she is doing well.” :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing! DRF Past Performances and Picks are available now. Oversubscribed won the Wild Applause Stakes here in June 2024 with a strong turn of foot. She was second in the Grade 3 Lake George before finishing sixth behind She Feels Pretty in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland in October 2024. Brown said that he chose the Forever Together to bring Oversubscribed back because he ran out of time to get her ready for a race like the Matriarch at Del Mar. Brown does feel he has Oversubscribed fit enough to give a solid effort Sunday. “Having not run in so long is always a built-in excuse, but she’s been clicking along pretty good. She should be fairly fit,” Brown said. Kelsey Danner, who won the Grade 2 Miss Grillo here in October with Ground Support and the listed Stewart Manor Stakes here Nov. 7 with Map of the Moon, sends out Nice as Pie in the Forever Together. Nice as Pie is coming out of a third-place finish behind Candy Reward in the HBPA Stakes on Oct. 6 at Presque Isle Downs. This will be her first time going 1 1/16 miles. She finished second, beaten a head, in the 2024 Penn Oaks going one mile. “I expected her to be a little more forward last time and she wasn’t. She ran an even race,” Danner said. “I do want to try her long on the grass again. Her best number came going long on the grass.” Sirona was beaten a nose by her Graham Motion-trained stablemate No Show Sammy Jo in the All Along Stakes on Sept. 13 at Laurel. Most recently, she finished sixth in the Grade 3 Waya going 1 3/8 miles. “I don’t think she wants to go that far,” Motion said. Miss Bonnie T, Malleymoo, Spinning Colors, and Flowers for Me complete the field on turf. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
