Walden plans to step Movie Night up in Test

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Movie Night, winner of a first-level allowance by 5 1/2 lengths on June 24 at Churchill Downs, will be pointed to the Grade 1 Test Stakes here on Aug. 8, trainer Will Walden said.

Movie Night, a daughter of Speightstown, won her maiden by eight lengths in the slop at Churchill on May 16 before validating that with another strong effort on a dry surface five weeks later. She earned a 96 Beyer Speed Figure for her allowance win and a 6 3/4 on the Ragozin sheets.

“She handled her business the right way and we’re going to point to the Test,” Walden said. “She’s super nice.”
