Wilburnmoney, Bluegrass Flag rematched in Cicada
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – There are no superstars in the field, but Saturday’s $100,000 Cicada Stakes drew a competitive group of five 3-year-old fillies for the six-furlong race.
Wilburnmoney and Bluegrass Flag, the one-two finishers in the Franklin Square Stakes for New York-breds, meet again in the Cicada. Wilburnmoney was a 20-1 upset winner of the Franklin Square, finishing two lengths in front of Bluegrass Flag, who ran in that race after a scheduled allowance race a week earlier was canceled due to snow.
Heavenly Score will turn back to sprinting after a fifth-place finish behind Yorkiepoo Princess in the Busher Stakes going 1 1/16 miles on Feb. 25.
Sounds Delicious, a winner of all three of her starts, makes her stakes debut in the Cicada. The Linda Rice trainee comes off an 11 1/4-length allowance win at Laurel Park.
Tiz Rae Anna, third in the Busher after a second in the Ruthless, completes the field.
The Cicada will go as race 3 on Saturday’s nine-card, which begins at 1:20 p.m. Eastern.
