ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Mike Keogh has spent his off-seasons on the farm in Aiken, S.C., since taking on the position as trainer for owner-breeder Gustav Schickedanz in 1993. But time and circumstances bring changes, and this year Keogh will be heading to Fair Grounds, where he has 24 stalls for the meeting that begins Nov. 22. “One of the reasons is that some of our horses ran well out of town on the dirt this year, as opposed to here on the Polytrack,” said Keogh, who does the majority of his training on Woodbine’s dirt training track. “And, Gus is cutting back quite a bit. I’m only going to have three yearlings for him.” Keogh left after training hours Wednesday and will stop in Aiken to pick up some equipment before continuing his journey south. His first load of six horses will leave here next Monday, with three more loads to follow one week later. Say No More, a homebred 5-year-old gelding who races for Schickedanz and partner Don Howard, could be Keogh’s first-ever starter at Fair Grounds as he is pointing to the Nov. 28 Thanksgiving Handicap. The $100,000, six-furlong Thanksgiving would be the fifth start on dirt for Say No More, who won a 6 1/2-furlong race in quick time at Fort Erie last year and missed by a nose in a $100,000 optional claimer/third-level allowance at Saratoga this summer. Other Keogh runners with dirt credentials include the homebred Schickedanz runners Thats Our Princess, a 3-year-old filly who was victorious under second-level allowance terms over six furlongs in her last start at Belmont on Oct. 4; Mobil Unit, a 6-year-old gelding who finished second in the 2010 running of Fort Erie’s Prince of Wales Stakes; and Well Played, a maiden winner over six furlongs at Fort Erie this summer. Six-year-old gelded stakes winner Artic Fern and stakes-placed 3-year-old filly Nadurra, also Schickedanz homebreds, have yet to try dirt but have worked well here on the surface. Also making the trip south will be 5-year-old gelding Welloiledmachine and 2-year-old colt Go Bro. Welloiledmachine won his second straight Halton Stakes on the turf here this year for his owner and groom, Christine Windsor, and her husband, Dennis Windsor. Go Bro, owned and bred by Schickedanz, finished sixth in his debut here on Polytrack but then was a strong second in the Grade 2 Summer Stakes over one mile on the turf, splitting the subsequent Grade 1-winning filly My Conquestadory and Cup and Saucer winner Matador. Go Bro had been entered in the Cup and Saucer but was scratched due to the soft going. “A week later, he had ringworm really bad,” Keogh said. “There’s been quite a bit of that out here this year.” Go Bro, as a 2-year-old Canadian-bred, would have to be considered as a long-term prospect for next year’s Queen’s Plate. But in the meantime, Keogh has another agenda. “I’m really looking forward to seeing him run on dirt,” he said. “He’s by Proud Citizen, out of a Langfuhr mare.” Silent Star out for season Silent Star, who had been pointing to Saturday’s $150,000 Jammed Lovely Stakes, came out of her final breeze for the race with a fractured tibia and is through for the season. “She’ll just need time,” said David Bell, who trains the homebred Silent Star for Kevin and David Beswick. “She’ll be 100 percent in three months.” Silent Star saw action five times this season, recording a win and two second-place finishes including a runner-up effort in the 1 1/16-mile Classy ’n Smart for Ontario-sired fillies and mares. The Jammed Lovely is a seven-furlong race for Ontario-bred 3-year-old fillies, with Sam-Son Farm’s Checkered Past looming as a lukewarm choice in her stakes debut for trainer Malcolm Pierce. Strong Woodbine presence Patrick Husbands will be at Churchill Downs on Saturday to ride Golden Sabre and Dance Again for Pierce and Sam-Son. Golden Sabre has been entered in the Grade 3 Commonwealth Turf, a 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-olds that offers Grade 3 status and a purse of $100,000. Dance Again will go in the Grade 2 Mrs. Revere, a 1 1/16-mile turf race for 3-year-old fillies that is worth $175,000. The Commonwealth Turf will have a strong Woodbine presence, with River Seven slated to go postward for trainer Nick Gonzalez and Kaigun representing the barn of Mark Casse. His Race to Win to Woodchopper His Race to Win, another talented runner in the Pierce/Sam-Son fold, was nominated to the Commonwealth Turf but will head to New Orleans with an eye toward the $75,000 Woodchopper Stakes. Trainer Josie Carroll also has penciled in Lukes Alley for the Woodchopper, a one-mile turf race for 3-year-olds on Nov. 30. Pierce and Carroll, both Fair Grounds regulars in the off-season, each have 24 stalls for the meeting.
