Wavell Avenue sharpens for Shine Again
Barbara D. Livingston Wavell Avenue works a half-mile in 49.88 seconds over the Saratoga main track Thursday.
Wavell Avenue, the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint winner, worked a half-mile in 49.88 seconds over the Saratoga main track in preparation for the $100,000 Shine Again next Wednesday here.
Wavell Avenue could have run in Wednesday’s Grade 2 Honorable Miss, but trainer Chad Brown preferred having another week as well as another furlong.
“She came out of her last race a little tired, and she seemed like she would benefit from having an extra week,” Brown said.
The Honorable Miss was won by the New York-bred Haveyougoneaway, who defeated Paulassilverlining by a neck. Haveyougoneaway earned a 96 Beyer Speed Figure for the performance.
