Keeneland

Bill Denver/EQUI-PHOTOS Lost Ark gallops to a 7 1/2-length victory in the Sapling Stakes, earning an 82 Beyer Speed Figure.

Lost Ark, who sailed to a 7 1/2-length win Aug. 27 at Monmouth Park in the $200,000 Sapling Stakes, is bound for the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland, trainer Todd Pletcher said earlier this week.

Lost Ark is by Violence out of Marion Ravenwood, making him the 2-year-old half-brother to Nest, who is well on her way to being champion 3-year-old filly of 2022 for Pletcher. Idol, also out of the same mare, won the 2020 Santa Anita Handicap.

Lost Ark debuted with a maiden sprint win at Belmont Park and crushed rivals in the two-turn, one-mile Sapling, earning an 82 Beyer Speed Figure. Pletcher won the 1 1/16-mile Breeders’ Futurity in 2014 with Carpe Diem and in 2013 with We Miss Artie.
