Kareena goes into the Grade 1 Test off a victory in the Jersey Girl Stakes at Belmont - just like last year's Test winner, Cavorting.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – In addition to having two horses for the Grade 1 Woodward next Saturday, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin will send out a trio of horses next Sunday for the Grade 2, $300,000 Prioress Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at six furlongs.
McLaughlin will send out Kareena, Takrees, and Coniah. Kareena, the dominant winner of the Jersey Girl Stakes on June 10, was dueled into defeat in the Grade 1 Test, finishing sixth of seven behind winner Paola Queen. Kareena was prompted by Off the Tracks through a half-mile in 43.50 seconds before fading in the seven-furlong Test.
