OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Rinaldi scratched out of last Saturday’s $200,000 Mohawk Stakes against New York-breds at Belmont Park to run in Saturday’s $150,000 Artie Schiller Stakes against open company at Aqueduct.
Rinaldi, trained by James Bond, was one of 10 turf horses entered Wednesday for Saturday’s Artie Schiller. There also were two entered to run only if the race is transferred to the main track.
Bond cited several reasons for scratching out of the richer restricted stakes to run in this open-company event going a mile.
