Sounds Delicious will go in Distaff Handicap next

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Sounds Delicious, who rolled to an eight-length victory in last Saturday’s Correction Stakes, will make her next start in the Grade 3, $150,000 Distaff Handicap on April 6, trainer Linda Rice said Thursday.

Rice said Sounds Delicious came out of the Correction “great, really well” and deserves the opportunity at a graded race.

Sounds Delicious, a daughter of Yes It’s True, ran six furlongs in 1:11.25 and earned a career-best Beyer Speed Figure of 96. She is 5 for 6 in her career.

Rice said she will also point Holiday Disguise to the Distaff. Holiday Disguise, who is 4 for 6, won the Biogio’s Rose Stakes on Feb. 8 before finishing second to Divine Miss Grey in the Heavenly Prize Invitational on March 10.

Startwithsilver, third in the Correction Stakes, will not be pointed to the Distaff. “She needs a little more time,” Rice said.

Meanwhile, Rice said that Just Got Out, who won the Ladies Stakes in January, will be pointed to the Karakorum Elektra, part of the New York Claiming Championships on March 31.
