SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - With the Grade 1 Personal Ensign postponed from last Sunday to Saturday because of Hurricane Irene, trainer Marty Wolfson did a little ad-libbing with Ask the Moon, who had shipped here from her Monmouth Park base last Saturday morning. Ask the Moon, a former claimer, returned quick dividends for owner Myron Miller’s Farnsworth Stables when she drew off to a convincing 5 3/4-length victory in the Grade 1 Ruffian here on July 31.
After having had a scheduled Monday workout canceled because of track-related issues at Delaware Park, the Larry Jones-trained Havre de Grace was able to blow out three furlongs in 35.60 seconds at Delaware on Tuesday in preparation Saturday’s Woodward Stakes.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Trainer Todd Pletcher has Dark Thunder primed for another big performance when he makes his stakes debut in the seven-furlong, $75,000 Island Whirl at Saratoga on Thursday. Dark Thunder has run through his allowance conditions in smart fashion, winning each of his last three starts, including a third-level, high-priced optional claiming race by a length despite a wide trip here on July 30.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – A lot of attention will be paid to Havre de Grace starting against the boys in Saturday’s Grade 1, $750,000 Woodward Stakes at Saratoga. But she may not be the only female challenging males in Grade 1 stakes here this holiday weekend.
Wesley Ward said he plans to enter his undefeated 2-year-old filly Judy the Beauty in both Sunday’s Spinaway for fillies and Monday’s Hopeful for colts and geldings. Both Grade 1 races are run at seven furlongs. Ward, who owns and trains the filly, said he wanted to analyze both fields before deciding in which race to run.
DEL MAR, Calif. – This has been a productive summer for trainer Tom Proctor, who has made a lot of noise with the handful of horses he brought here. He has a chance to finish with a flourish, too, because Proctor will be represented by Emerald Gold in the Grade 1, $250,000 Del Mar Debutante on Saturday, and he plans to run both Banned and Lil Bit O’Fun in the Grade 2, $250,000 Del Mar Derby on Sunday.
