Yorkiepoo Princess sharp for Interborough
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Yorkiepoo Princess blew out three furlongs in 38.86 seconds Wednesday morning at Aqueduct in preparation for Monday’s $100,000 Interborough Stakes.
Yorkiepoo Princess went an opening eighth in 13.71 seconds and came home in 25.15 over a deep main track. She galloped out a half-mile in 52.13 seconds.
Trainer Eddie Barker said he wasn’t looking to do a whole lot with the filly, who six days ago worked five furlongs in 1:02.40, which was the fastest of 16 works that day.
“She’s so good right now,” Barker said.
Yorkiepoo Princess raced four times in 45 days from Oct. 25 through Dec. 8, including a victory in the Autumn Days Stakes, which had been scheduled for the turf but was run on dirt. Most recently, Yorkiepoo Princess finished second to Vertical Oak in the Garland of Roses Stakes here on Dec. 8.
Others expected for the Interborough include Dawn the Destroyer, Honor Way, Silent Sonet, Sower, and Your Love.
