OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The last time Spooky Lady went from a sprint to a route she won a first-level New York-bred allowance at odds of 10-1. On Friday, Spooky Lady makes a similar stretch-out move and looms a significantly shorter price in a second-level statebred allowance that serves as the feature on Aqueduct’s nine-race card. The one-mile race, scheduled as race 3 over the inner turf course, drew only a field of six for the turf, plus two main-track-only entrants. Last Oct. 6, Spooky Lady finished third, beaten 1 1/4 lengths in a six-furlong starter-allowance race. Lady Mia, the favored filly who beat Spooky Lady that day, came off the bench to win a first-level allowance in April. Meanwhile, Spooky Lady came back on Nov. 19 at 1 1/16 miles to score a half-length, front-running victory in a full field of 12 New York-bred fillies. Spooky Lady didn’t run again until April 25, when she finished third, beaten 1 1/4 lengths in an open first-level allowance race. The longest price on the board that day, Spooky Lady set an uncontested lead in the 1 1/16-mile race and hung tough when passed by Tax Implications and then Rhombique. That field produced two subsequent stakes winners, as Tax Implications won the Grade 3 Eatontown at Monmouth Park on June 16, and Silver Skillet, fourth in the allowance, won the off-the-turf Mount Vernon at Saratoga on June 9. :: Access morning workout reports straight from the tracks and get an edge with DRF Clocker Reports Spooky Lady came back on May 24 in a second-level statebred allowance sprint where she got involved in a speed duel – the half-mile went in 43.76 seconds – before finishing fifth. Rudy Rodriguez, who trains Spooky Lady, was quite pleased with the 5-year-old mare’s April race. The May 24 sprint race did produce next-out stakes winner Soloshot and stakes runner-up Caldwell Luvs Gold. Rodriguez said he ran Spooky Lady back in that sprint race because that’s what was available to him. “This is the race we were looking for,” Rodriguez said. “She’s got two races on the grass now and she should be a solid horse for this.” Luis Rivera Jr. rides from the outside post. Spooky Lady is one of five fillies and mares from that May 24 sprint who is stretching out in this field. Solib took advantage of the hot pace battle to finish second and stretches out to a mile, where she figures to be a forward factor under Javier Castellano. Autumn Glory (seventh), Snowy Evening (10th), and Ribo’s Valentine (11th) all come out of that race. The only member of this field who is not coming out of that May 24 race is Determined Lilly, who shipped in from Maryland to win a first-level statebred allowance on May 25. That race, in which she rallied from seventh in an 11-horse field, was Determined Lilly’s first start in six months and first since being transferred to Mike Trombetta from Phil Schoenthal. Deterministic to turf in Manila Deterministic, the Grade 3 Gotham Stakes winner on dirt, will make his turf debut in Saturday’s Grade 3, $250,000 Manila Stakes going one mile. Following the Gotham, Deterministic finished eighth as the favorite in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial followed by a fifth-place finish in the Peter Pan on May 11. “After the Wood, I told [the owners] right away that because he ran so well on a wet track in the Gotham, I thought the turf would be a strong option,” trainer Christophe Clement said. Clement said the decision was made to try the dirt one more time in the Peter Pan “and the Peter Pan confirmed we ought to try the grass.” Deterministic worked once on the turf at Saratoga and Clement liked how the horse got over that surface. Dylan Davis will ride. The Manila was expected to draw a six-horse field. Move to Gold, who won the Awad Stakes here at 2, was beaten a nose in the Jersey Derby at Monmouth last out. Others expected were Neat, the Grade 3 Transylvania winner; Mattingly, beaten a nose in the six-furlong Paradise Creek; Drunk on Sake, an 8 1/2-length maiden winner last out; and Please Advise, winner of the six-furlong Atlantic Beach Stakes here last fall. Clement hopes Deterministic performs as well Saturday as Carson’s Run did winning last Sunday’s Tale of the Cat Stakes by three lengths at Monmouth. Carson’s Run, who won last year’s Grade 1 Summer at Woodbine, rebounded from a bad performance in the Woodhaven at Aqueduct in April, when he lugged out badly finishing fourth and was disqualified to fifth. :: Get the Inside Track with the FREE DRF Morning Line Email Newsletter.

The Grade 2, $500,000 National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame at Saratoga on Aug. 2 could be one option. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
