Chelsea Durand/NYRA
Trainer Linda Rice is considering starting promising 3-year-old Sand Devil in the Withers Stakes at Aqueduct.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The New York-bred 3-year-old Sand Devil may have earned himself a shot in a Kentucky Derby qualifying points race after winning a first-level statebred allowance race by 12 1/2 lengths Thursday at Aqueduct.

Trainer Linda Rice said she would consider a race like the $250,000 Withers Stakes, going 1 1/8 miles on Feb. 1, for Sand Devil, a son of Violence out of the Mineshaft mare Mineralogist, a three-time New York-bred stakes winner.

“To go from a mile to a mile and an eighth that fast, it’s a lot, but I’ve taken a few chances here and there,” Rice said.

Skinner wins for the first time in 21 months in the Nov. 23 Native Diver at Del Mar.

Skinner breezed a half-mile in 47.80 seconds on Dec. 31 at Fair Grounds, fastest among 67 works at the distance and his first drill since joining the stable of trainer Cherie DeVaux.

“He looked great. He shipped in to us in great order and worked really well,” DeVaux said.

Five-year-old Skinner finished third in the 2023 Santa Anita Derby and came to Louisville later that month a stealth contender for the Kentucky Derby, but got sick after shipping and was scratched from the Derby the day before the race.

East Avenue has first work since debacle in Breeders' Cup Juvenile

Debra A. Roma
East Avenue worked a half-mile in 49.40 seconds on Friday at Fair Grounds, his first breeze since a ninth-place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Del Mar.

After his sprint debut in August at Ellis Park and his second start, the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland, it became apparent that the Godolphin homebred colt East Avenue possessed elite talent. That was obvious from the outside. From the inside, those that worked daily with the colt collected ample evidence suggesting East Avenue was a horse who breathed different air.

Then East Avenue fell on his nose leaving the starting gate as the heavy favorite to win the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on Nov. 1 at Del Mar.
