Rookie Card may try Bay Shore

Rookie Card, a 3-year-old allowance winner in Florida, could make his next start in the $150,000 Bay Shore Stakes on April 19 at Aqueduct, trainer Danny Gargan said.

Rookie Card won a Florida-bred allowance by three lengths going seven furlongs on Sunday at Gulfstream, earning an 86 Beyer Speed Figure. That was a good bounce-back effort after he was interfered with going into the far turn of the Pasco Stakes. He crossed the wire fifth but was elevated to fourth when Owen Almighty, who caused the interference, was disqualified from first.

“I don’t think we were going to beat [Owen Almighty], but I think we would have been second,” Gargan said.
