RACE REPLAY IS NOT AVAILABLE
ARCADIA, Calif. – Selcourt won her 4-year-old debut by 7 1/2 lengths in the Kalookan Queen Stakes at Santa Anita last Sunday, and trainer John Sadler hopes to start her in the Grade 2 Santa Monica Stakes in March and perhaps the Grade 1 Beholder Mile in June.
The Kalookan Queen Stakes, at 6 1/2 furlongs, was the first stakes victory for Selcourt. She led throughout the Kalookan Queen and pulled clear to win in 1:15.88.
The Grade 2 Santa Monica Stakes will be run at seven furlongs March 24.
“She’s a stakes winner, which is important for fillies and mares, and now I want to see her get a [graded] stakes win,” Sadler said.
Sadler rates Selcourt as filly who can compete with Grade 1 winners Unique Bella and Paradise Woods.
“I could see her stretching into the Beholder Mile,” he said.
Selcourt has won 2 of 4 starts and earned $103,920. Selcourt races for breeder Keith Abrahams, Medallion Racing, and Sandra Lazaruk.
