OZONE PARK, N.Y. – On the day the New York Racing Association conducts the $135,000 Forever Together Stakes, George Strawbridge’s Augustin Stables, which campaigned the champion turf mare Forever Together, has two opportunities Sunday to honor her with homebreds running in stakes races at Aqueduct. Strawbridge will send out the in-form Regal Realm in the Forever Together, one of eight females entered in the 1 1/16-mile race scheduled for the outer turf. Earlier on the card, Strawbridge will send out Uncle Truly in the $120,000 Central Park Stakes for 2-year-olds on the inner turf. Uncle Truly is a grandson of Forever Together. Both Regal Realm and Uncle Truly are trained by Jonathan Thomas. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs! Join DRF Bets. Regal Realm, a 4-year-old daughter of Animal Kingdom, has won 4 of 5 starts in 2023. She is coming off a front-running score in the $1 million Ladies Turf Stakes at Kentucky Downs, where she got away with an easy, uncontested lead. Sunday, Regal Realm figures to be on or near the lead breaking from the outside post under Jose Ortiz. Faith in Humanity, drawn immediately to her inside, looks like the other potential speed in the field. “She’s not a need-the-lead type,” Thomas said of Regal Realm. “I do like the thought of her being in a position to apply pressure as opposed to being the one getting pressure applied to her.” The one question for Regal Realm could be the 1 1/16 miles. Her wins this year have come at seven furlongs or a mile. “We’re trying to eke that extra sixteenth of a mile out of her, which she should be okay with,” Thomas said. “We’re drawn far enough outside we can get a look at what everybody else wants to do.” Faith in Humanity was a front-running winner of the Grade 3 Pebbles in September 2022 and kicked off her 3-year-old campaign with a front-running victory in the Grade 3 Honey Fox at Gulfstream in March. She went to the sidelines shortly thereafter and returned in an allowance race here where she finished last at 3-5. “No idea what happened last time,” said Chad Brown, trainer of Faith in Humanity. “She hit midstretch and stopped. She came back sound, just give it another go.” Brown also sends out Chili Flag, who was beaten a nose by Tass in a second-level allowance race here Oct. 19. Tass also is back in this field. “She got a challenging trip. She was a bit wide in the race, made an early move in the race,” Brown said. “In hindsight, she would have been better-suited to wait for the straightaway to circle.” Irad Ortiz Jr. rides Chili Flag from post 6, while Manny Franco rides Faith in Humanity from post 7. Trainer Graham Motion has the uncoupled pair of Willakia and Cigamia. Willakia finished second in the All Along Stakes at Pimlico in September and in a second-level allowance at Keeneland last month. Cigamia, a Kentucky-bred daughter of Karakontie, will be making her U.S. debut in this spot. She was Group 3 stakes-placed in Ireland in July and has not started since finishing fifth in a Group 3 stakes at The Curragh in Ireland in August. Uncorked and Malavath complete the field. Overflow field in Central Park Uncle Truly, coming off a three-length victory in a maiden race at Woodbine, is one of several contenders in the $120,000 Central Park for 2-year-olds scheduled for one mile. The race drew 13 but will be limited to 12 starters on turf. Uncle Truly finished third on debut at Kentucky Downs. He was one of three next-out winners from that race when he shipped up to Woodbine to win a one-mile maiden race by three lengths Oct. 15. “Kentucky Downs is a hard place to debut and I thought he ran very respectable,” Thomas said. “At Woodbine, he ran like he was training and we were happy to see that.” The Woodbine race was run as a one-turn mile. The Central Park is run as a two-turn mile. Works for Me, who finished a close third in the Atlantic Beach Stakes in his lone turf try, will scratch after winning Saturday’s $100,000 Notebook Stakes on dirt.  The scratch of Works for Me would allow the maiden filly Day Away to draw in from the also-eligible list should her connections choose to run.  Frontline Warrior, trained by Shug McGaughey, comes off a narrow maiden win going a mile on turf on Oct. 12 at Keeneland. The second- and third-place finishers came back to win maiden races at Churchill Downs. Buffoon, seventh with trouble in a maiden race at Saratoga, came back to win a maiden race at 1 1/16 miles on turf on Oct. 28 at Keeneland and makes his start first against winners in this spot. Last-out maiden winners Walley World, Typhoon Fury, Sanderson, and stakes-placed runners Spirit Prince and Blue Creek add to the competitiveness of the Central Park. ◗ Sunday will be the final day of turf racing for the year on this circuit. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
