Where's My Ring to Acorn after minor injury in Kentucky Oaks

ARCADIA, Calif. – Where’s My Ring, tenth in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs on May 3, was recently shipped to New York for an intended start in the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes at the Belmont at Saratoga meeting on June 7.

Where’s My Ring emerged from the loss in the Kentucky Oaks with a swollen leg sustained when she was apparently kicked by a rival, according to trainer Val Brinkerhoff.

The filly lost a shoe in the incident and developed swelling that has since subsided, he said.

“She’s ready to return to training,” the California-based Brinkerhoff said. “We’ll give it another try.”

Owned by Michael McMillan, Where’s My Ring was beaten 18 1/4 lengths by Thorpedo Anna in the Kentucky Oaks. Earlier this spring, Where’s My Ring won for the first time in her eighth start in the Grade 3 Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct on April 6.

Javier Castellano is booked to ride Where’s My Ring in the Acorn, Brinkerhoff said.

The Acorn is run at 1 1/8 miles and is one of the leading races of the spring for 3-year-old fillies.
