Miss Brazil wins the 2021 Ruthless Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack

Janet Garaguso/NYRA Miss Brazil went wire to wire in the seven-furlong Ruthless Stakes on Monday. She will stretch out to a mile in the Busher on March 6.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Trainer Tony Dutrow is freshening Ruthless Stakes winner Miss Brazil for a summer campaign, with the major target being the Grade 1 Test on Aug. 7 at Saratoga.

Miss Brazil went back to the track Wednesday for the first time since she finished second to Search Results in the Busher Invitational here March 6. Dutrow said Miss Brazil simply jogged with the pony.

Dutrow said he will consider one or two starts for Miss Brazil prior to the Test. The first option could be the $150,000 Jersey Girl on June 6, or he could wait for the Grade 3, $150,000 Victory Ride Stakes on July 10. Both races are at Belmont Park.

“I backed off her a little bit,” Dutrow said. “In the big picture, the Test is the one I’m wanting to get to.”

◗ Weyburn, the Grade 3 Gotham winner, worked a half-mile in 50.93 seconds Wednesday morning at Belmont Park. He is expected to make his next start in the Grade 2, $750,000 Wood Memorial on April 3.
