Sensitively skips Las Flores to await race in Kentucky

Sensitively, the second choice on the morning-line in the Grade 3 Las Flores on Sunday at Santa Anita, was scratched in favor of starts in Kentucky in the next couple of months, trainer Phil D’Amato said.

D’Amato said Sensitively and another talented female sprinter he has, Sunday Rules, are among horses he is taking to Keeneland for the spring meet that begins on April 8.

He said his hope is to run Sensitively in an allowance race at Keeneland at the beginning of the meet and then point for the Humana Distaff at Churchill Downs if she runs well.

Sunday Rules is targeted for the Grade 1 Madison at Keeneland on April 9, D’Amato said.
