Sharp debut winner Feedback to await Frizette Stakes

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Last summer, trainer Chad Brown and owner Seth Klarman won a maiden race with a 2-year-old filly by 11 3/4 lengths. That filly, Separationofpowers, went on to become a Grade 1 winner at 2 and 3.

Last Sunday, Brown and Klarman unveiled another good-looking 2-year-old filly in Feedback, who won a 6 1/2-furlong maiden race by eight lengths, earning an 85 Beyer Speed Figure.

Feedback will wait to run back in the Frizette at Belmont on Oct. 7. That’s the same Grade 1 race that Separationofpowers won last year. Separationofpowers had won her debut on July 30, allowing her to run in the Grade 1 Spinaway here at the end of last summer’s meet. She finished third.

Brown said he would not run Feedback in the Spinaway here on Sept. 1.

“As well as she ran and as easy as she did it, I just feel it’s back too soon,” Brown said. “I don’t think she’ll have any problems stretching out.”

The Frizette is run at a mile.

Separationofpowers returned to Saratoga this year to win the Grade 1 Test. Brown said he is not sure what’s next for Separationofpowers but did say she would not run in the Grade 1 Ballerina on Aug. 25. A race like the Raven Run at Keeneland in October is a possible next start for Separationofpowers.
