Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey said Inspector Lynley likely will be steered toward the Grade 1 Maker’s 46 Mile in April at Keeneland after winning the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Stakes for the second time Saturday.
McGaughey said Monday he was unsure whether the 6-year-old horse will have an interim start.
Inspector Lynley got a terrific ride from Jose Ortiz on Saturday in replicating his half-length victory in the 2017 Tampa Bay. He was eighth in the Maker’s 46 in his subsequent start that year.
Inspector Lynley earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 101 on Saturday.
