Promise Me Silver gears up for first start of 2016

Promise Me Silver, who won the first eight starts of her career, including last year’s Eight Belles Stakes at Churchill, was scheduled to work over the weekend at Lone Star Park, trainer Bret Calhoun said Thursday.

Promise Me Silver is gearing up for her first start since September, when she turned in a rare off-the-board finish while facing Cavorting in the Grade 2 Prioress at Saratoga. Promise Me Silver is entered in an allowance next Friday at Louisiana Downs. She also has been under consideration for the Grade 3, $100,000 Winning Colors at Churchill. The six-furlong stakes for fillies and mares is May 28. Promise Me Silver races for Robert Luttrell.

◗ He’s Comin in Hot, the winner of last year’s Grade 3 Bashford Manor at Churchill, launched his 3-year-old season with a two-other-than allowance win over older horses April 30 at Lone Star. Plans for his next start are to be determined, Calhoun said.
