Woodslane Farm homebred Hail To will attempt to carry on a family tradition of performing at a high level on grass when the juvenile daughter of Kitten’s Joy makes her graded stakes debut in Saturday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Miss Grillo going 1 1/16 miles over the inner turf course at Belmont Park.

Hail To, a chestnut filly, is a full-sister to four-time graded stakes winning multi-millionaire Sadler’s Joy, who captured the Grade 1 Sword Dancer at Saratoga in 2017. She is also a half-sister to stakes-placed Dyna Passer, third in the 2019 Jockey Club Oaks, as well as Lunaire and Wolfie’s Dynaghost, who also are stakes-placed. All are out of the unraced Dynaformer mare Dynaire. 

Hail To arrives at her first stakes engagement off a 20-1 upset maiden victory over Miss Grillo-rival Kinchen over a firm inner turf at Saratoga, where she settled in fifth nearly six lengths off the pace down the backstretch and rallied in deep stretch with a powerful run to win by three-quarters of a length. 

On debut, Hail To was more forwardly placed over a good Saratoga inner turf, and faded to fifth, finishing 7 ¾ lengths behind subsequent Grade 1-placed Pizza Bianca. 

“I didn’t want her to be out as close to the front end as she was, especially with the turf course that day being very boggy,” Albertrani said. “I think she just got tired from her early efforts that day and also probably just needed a race under her belt. Second start, the plan was to be patient with her, and it worked out well. We’re hoping to see a similar scenario this time around, although it doesn’t appear that there’s a whole lot of pace in the race. We just want to see a more patient ride.”

Albertrani expressed hope that Hail To will establish herself as a quality stayer, much like her accomplished older brother Sadler’s Joy. 

“I would imagine that she will stretch out with time,” Albertrani said. “What’s nice about her is that in her two starts, it looked like she has a little more tactical speed than he did. With him, it was always a matter of always being dropped back and often having difficult trips and always barely getting there. She seems quite a bit like him and hopefully she’ll prove to be as nice a horse as he was.”

Albertrani added that Hail To and Sadler’s Joy convey a similar physical resemblance. 

“They look very much alike,” Albertrani said. “The only difference is that she might be a little smaller. Body wise, they have the same frame and almost the same markings on their heads, so very similar all around.”

Hail To will be piloted by returning rider Ricardo Santana, Jr. 

While the two full siblings look alike, the same cannot be said for their half-brother Wolfie’s Dynaghost, who was third two starts back in the Better Talk Now on the turf at Saratoga. 

“They’re complete total opposites. Different coloring,” Albertrani said.

Despite boasting a strong turf pedigree, Wolfie’s Dynaghost, a sophomore son of Ghostzapper, secured his two lifetime wins on the main track. But following a lackluster sixth in the seven-furlong Harrods Creek on September 25 at Churchill Downs, Albertrani said he will eye a return to grass for the colt. 

Albertrani said Wolfie’s Dynaghost could target the $100,000 Carle Place on October 22 at Belmont Park.

“It comes up a little quick from the time we travelled to Kentucky and back with him, so we may wait for Aqueduct,” Albertrani said. “When we shipped him to Kentucky for the Harrods Creek we were still optimistic that he might handle the dirt because he won twice on the main track, but they were on good and sloppy surfaces. We were trying to take another try and see how he would handle a dry track and I just don’t think he really handled it. We’ll just look at keeping him on the grass.”

Wolfie’s Dynaghost has a yearling full-brother by Ghostzapper, who was bred back to Dynaire this year. Hail To has a younger full-brother by Kitten’s Joy born this year. 

On Sunday, Albertrani will saddle Elizabeth Mateo’s Lovely Lucky, a three-time winning daughter of Lookin At Lucky, who seeks her first graded stakes score in the Grade 3, $300,000 Fasig-Tipton Waya. 

Victorious against winners in July at Saratoga the past two years, Lovely Lucky has run four times at graded stakes level, with her best finish taking place in last year’s Grade 2 Glens Falls at Saratoga, where she was fourth beaten 1 ½ lengths to Civil Union. 

Lovely Lucky emerged triumphant off a six month layoff in an 11-furlong allowance optional claiming tilt on July 22 over Saratoga’s inner turf course and enters from a distant fourth in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl Invitational on September 4 at the Spa.

“She definitely likes the longer distances,” Albertrani said. “She came back off the layoff in good form. It was soft ground at Saratoga that day and I really liked the way she handled herself. It’s a pretty competitive race. She ran well last time and hopefully she can take a step forward off that.”

After racing on dirt in her first three starts, Lovely Lucky saw turf for the first time last May at Gulfstream Park when fourth going one mile. Following a next out narrow triumph on grass for a $75,000 tag at Belmont, she was a 6 ¾-length winner of her 1 3/8-mile debut against winners at Saratoga. 

“When we first started her off, she ran on dirt and we didn’t see a lot of effort out of her in those few races,” Albertrani said. “We put her on the grass and I actually thought she ran well in her first start on turf. It wasn’t until we stretched her out when we saw the best come out of her. I think she has a nice future in some of these longer route races. We just hope to get some racing luck with her.”

Albertrani has entrusted jockey Dylan Davis with engineering the trip aboard Lovely Lucky for the Waya.

Jockey Charles Roberts to make his stakes debut in G1 Champagne; Apprentice Christian Ramon joins NYRA jockey colony

Charles Roberts, a 29-year-old New Jersey native, rode his first two races at Belmont Park last week, finishing sixth with London Gold last Friday and second aboard Madame Rose at odds of 36-1 in the Saturday nightcap.

Roberts, a newcomer to the NYRA jockey colony who is represented by agent David Grace, will ride his first career stakes race Saturday at Belmont, where he is named aboard Kavod in the Grade 1, $500,000 Champagne, a one-turn mile for juveniles.

Roberts got into racing through his uncle, a Monmouth Park patron who said he was the right size to become a jockey.

“My Uncle Bob would take me to Monmouth and Meadowlands as a kid. When I realized I was done growing, I decided to give it a shot,” Roberts said.

The rider said he studied for a time at Chris McCarron's North American Racing Academy in Kentucky before testing his talent at the track.

“I got my foot in the door with racing at the Academy and then I stayed in Lexington for a couple of years and galloped horses for Eric Reed and Kellyn Gorder. I would also freelance a bit at The Training Center in Lexington,” Roberts said.

Roberts started riding in June 2019 in Louisiana at Evangeline Downs and picked up his first win on July 6, 2019 aboard So Serious at Louisiana Downs. The up-and-coming rider said he knew right away that he wanted to be a jockey.

“I knew I liked it the first time I got on a horse,” Roberts said. “It was scary at first but also exciting.”

Roberts said he is looking forward to his first stakes experience Saturday aboard Kavod, who he breezed on September 25 through four furlongs in 48.19 on Big Sandy in company with 2-year-old colt Ready to March.

“I know there's some nice horses in the race but the way he worked, I have a lot of confidence in him,” Roberts said. “It doesn't even feel like real life. I haven't ridden a stakes race yet and now my first one is in a Grade 1 at Belmont.”

Roberts knows Saturday’s assignment is a tall order with Kavod listed at 50-1 on the morning line, but he said he will ride to win.

“I know he likes the rail and hopefully he'll make a run,” Roberts said. “After working him, I really liked what I felt so I have a lot of confidence. I know he likes the surface here, so that will help.”

Heading into Friday's card, Roberts [115 pounds] sports a record of 618-56-65-75, including wins at Evangeline, Louisiana Downs, Delta Downs, Oaklawn Park, Arlington Park, and most recently at Hawthorne.

“I constantly try to better myself,” Roberts said. “Every race I ride, I look back at the replay and consider what I could have done better. I also watch the guys here who are already great and try to emulate them.”

Roberts has worked horses for a number of barns since arriving in New York, including for veteran New York trainer Carlos Martin.

“He's a young rider and comes with a good reputation. His agent is a good friend of ours that used to work for us many years ago,” Martin said. “He's been working horses for us the last week to 10 days since he arrived and he's just got a real good way about him. He's quiet on the horses and they seem to respond to him.

“He's stepping up to the big leagues but I think he deserves the opportunity,” Martin added. “We have him on a filly this Sunday [Positive Skew, Race 7] and he's working another one that he'll ride. He's an exciting young rider. It's a tough meet and one of the toughest jockey colonies in the world, but all he needs is an opportunity. I think he can ride, there's no question in my mind.”

Grace, who has previously represented Channing Hill and Mike Luzzi, said Roberts is willing to work hard to make the most of his opportunities.

“He's well-spoken and rides a good race,” Grace said. “This is a tough race tomorrow but anything can happen in a horse race.”

*

Also new to the NYRA jockey colony is apprentice rider Christian Ramos, who will be represented by agent Mike Monroe. 

“He's a five-pound bug until April. He's riding at 116 pounds,” Monroe said. “He's a tall kid – a little like Richard Migliore and Trevor McCarthy - but he's well received already and I’m hoping for big things from him here this winter.”

The 18-year-old rider was previously based in New Mexico, winning with his first mount, Shangroyal, on October 7, 2020 at Zia Park. Ramos, who boasts a record of 329-31-33-32, last rode at Albuquerque.

Ramos is named aboard Scotty in Saturday's seventh race in what will be his first ride in New York.

“He's followed the career of the Ortiz brothers and saw how successful they were as apprentices,” Monroe said. “He's been here in New York for only three days but he's an extremely hard worker. He's out there at 5:30 every morning and he wants to make it as a journeyman. He's a strong rider and really good at switching the stick. He's well-seasoned.”

Doctor Jeff makes turf debut in G2 Pilgrim; future plans remain in flux for Bella Sofia

After a distant fifth as the favorite in the Grade 2 Saratoga Special, Doctor Jeffwill change surfaces for Sunday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Pilgrim going 1 1/16 miles over the inner turf course at Belmont Park.

Owned by Michael Dubb and Michael Caruso, Doctor Jeff was a gate-to-wire winner on debut in an off-the-turf maiden special weight going six furlongs in July at Belmont Park. Last out, the son of Street Boss dueled on the front end early on before relinquishing to fifth, beaten 10 ½ lengths to High Oak in the 6 1/2-furlong Saratoga Special.

Doctor Jeff has worked twice on the Belmont turf for the Pilgrim. On Sunday, he went five furlongs in 1:02.11. 

“He has breeding for turf, so we’re going to try it,” Rodriguez said. “I worked him a couple of times on the grass and he seems pretty comfortable. [Jose] Lezcano breezed him and he liked the way he breezed. He looks very, very keen. I’m just going to give him a chance and see what he can do. He seems comfortable on the grass, if he doesn’t like it, we have the whole winter ahead of him.”

Doctor Jeff, purchased for $90,000 at the 2020 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, is out of the stakes-placed Flatter mare Wild Bea who also produced graded stakes-placed Queen of Beas as well as dual stakes-winner Flattering Bea. Her second dam Tarquina was a winner on the turf in France.

Rodriguez also sends out impressive maiden winner Magic Circle for Sunday’s Grade 1, $400,000 Frizette – a “Win And You’re In” qualifier for the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar.  

Owned by J.W. Singer, the juvenile daughter of Kantharos earned a 64 Beyer for a first out winning effort going seven furlongs over the main track at Saratoga. 

“I like the way she came out of her last race,” Rodriguez said. “They don’t have allowance races for 2-year-olds and I don’t want to ship her out of town, so this is the next step. If she runs well, we can look at the Breeders’ Cup. She’s a nice filly and has done everything we’ve asked of her since Day One. She presents herself like a nice filly, so we’re going to treat her like a nice filly.”

Magic Circle will be piloted by Manny Franco for the Frizette. 

While Rodriguez enters this weekend with a pair of underdogs at graded stakes level, he saddled heavy favorite Bella Sofia to a never-in-doubt triumph in last Sunday’s Grade 2 Gallant Bloom. Previously a winner of the Grade 1 Longines Test on August 6 at Saratoga, Rodriguez said he still needs to consult with the ownership group on whether or not the sophomore daughter of Awesome Patriot will ship to Del Mar for the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint. 

Bella Sofia is owned by Michael Imperio, Medallion Racing, Sofia Soares, Vincent Scuderi, and Parkland Thoroughbreds. 

“She came back very well,” Rodriguez said. “I’m just going easy on her these past couple of days, jogging her and keeping her happy. We’ll take things step by step. I’m waiting to hear from the owners on what the decision is and we’ll take it from there.”

Chapman sends out longshots Kavod and Saucy Lady T in Belmont Grade 1s

Trainer James Chapman will be represented by juveniles Saucy Lady T in the Grade 1 Frizette and Kavod in the Grade 1 Champagne this weekend at Belmont.

Saucy Lady T, owned by Chapman in partnership with Stuart Tsujimoto, is a multiple graded stakes placed daughter of Tonalist. The dark bay graduated at second asking sprinting five furlongs over a sloppy Belmont main track in April and followed with consecutive third-place finishes at Saratoga in the Grade 3 Schuylerville, Grade 2 Adirondack and Grade 1 Spinaway.

Dylan Davis will guide Saucy Lady T [20-1 morning-line] from post 3 in Sunday’s one-turn mile which is led by Spinaway-winner Echo Zulu.

“Every time the distance increases a little bit, she steps up. She always finishes. I'm excited about her,” Chapman said.

Saucy Lady T is out of the War Front mare Fila Primera, who brought $625,000 in foal to Speightstown at the 2017 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. 

A half-sister to Saucy Lady T, by Ghostzapper, brought $170,000 at the recently concluded Keeneland November Yearling Sale.

Chapman said he is proud of the development of his filly, who was purchased for $5,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale and has already banked $130,000.

“She's a May foal and she's really sound. She's real big and will improve going longer,” Chapman said.

Chapman noted that Saucy Lady T is nominated to the Keeneland November Sale following the Breeders’ Cup.

Kavod, owned by Chapman in partnership with Tritain Biddinger, is a chestnut son of Lea acquired for $3,500 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

A maiden winner at second asking sprinting five-furlongs on the Belmont main track in April, Kavod followed with a close second to Overbore in the 5 1/2-furlong Tremont contested over a muddy and sealed track in June at Belmont.

Following a pair of fifth-place finishes at Saratoga in the six-furlong Grade 3 Sanford on the main track in July and the 1 1/16-mile Grade 3 With Anticipation on the turf on September 1, Kavod, who raced without blinkers last out, will again sport the equipment as he returns to dirt racing.

“I get on the horse every morning and he looks around a lot at stuff. I took them off for the route race for a change, but he's more comfortable with blinkers on,” Chapman said. “I don't gallop my horses in blinkers so when we put the blinkers on him, he knows he's going to work.”

Charles Roberts will pilot Kavod from post 4 in Saturday’s Champagne, a one-turn mile led by impressive maiden winner Jack Christopher and Grade 1 Hopeful champ Gunite.

Chapman said he’s hopeful that Kavod will be able to pick up the pieces in a race that could have a lot of speed.

“The horse is training really well right now. We could have gone out of town to get away from these horses, but we don't have to pass many to be making money,” Chapman said. “He'll just settle. It looks like there's enough speed in there. Hopefully the track and the distance helps him. He's doing as good as he ever has right now. We're taking a shot obviously, but we're here to run.”

The conditioner said he is likely to enter Ready to March and Emma’s Waltz – both owned in partnership Tsujimoto - in the Grade 3, $150,000 Futurity, a six-furlong turf sprint slated for October 10 at Belmont, which offers a “Win and You’re In” berth to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint in November at Del Mar.

Ready to March earned a 52 Beyer for his first-out graduation sprinting five furlongs over dirt on August 23 at Finger Lakes. The dark bay son of Tom’s Ready was purchased for $5,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

“Ready to March has been one of my best horses the whole year,” Chapman said. “He's a little green and his win is a little deceiving because he was looking around. He's a really nice horse.”

A $3,500 Keeneland September Yearling Sale purchase, Emma’s Waltz finished second on debut sprinting 5 1/2-furlongs in August over firm Saratoga turf in a maiden allowance auction event. The chestnut son of Carpe Diem posted a gate-to-wire score last out in a six-furlong main track sprint on September 13 at Delaware Park, garnering a 51 Beyer.

“Emma was second in the maiden auction race in his first start and then the next auction race didn't go at Saratoga,” Chapman said. “I wanted to get their maidens broke so Emma went to Delaware and Ready to March went to Finger Lakes, so they didn’t have to face each other.”

Dutrow looking to build on solid season with Buy Land and See in Saturday’s G3 Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational

Trainer Anthony Dutrow is enjoying a strong season with a record of 50-15-14-9 for purse earnings in excess of $1 million, while winning at a 30 percent clip heading into Friday’s card at Belmont. 

“I've been doing this a long time and it's up and down. You get good horses, they run good. You get bad horses, they run bad. Lately, it's been good,” Dutrow said. “It's horse racing - not jockey racing or groom racing - and so many people are capable of doing a great job if they have the horse. Lately, I’ve had better horses.”

The veteran conditioner will look to add to those numbers when he saddles Joseph Imbesi’s Buy Land and See in Saturday’s Grade 3 Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational.

The 4-year-old Pennsylvania homebred son of Cairo Prince captured the 2019 Awad at one-mile on the Belmont turf. Last year, he added a state-bred allowance win against older company at Parx to his ledger along with a third-place finish in the 5 1/2-furlong Mahony over firm Saratoga turf. 

He was last seen finishing fourth in the one-mile Grade 2 Hill Prince contested over yielding Belmont turf last October.

Buy Land and See breezed extensively over the summer at Saratoga and his last two works at Belmont include a bullet half-mile in 47.60 over Big Sandy on September 17 and a four-furlong breeze in 49.21 Sunday on the inner turf.

“He's doing fantastic. It's an aggressive move but he's doing that well and we believe in our horse,” Dutrow said. “They're good horses but our horse is doing fantastic and we have a great deal of confidence in his ability.”

Dutrow said Woodford Racing and Team D’s graded-stakes placed High Opinion, a 4-year-old Kentucky-bred daughter of Lemon Drop Kid, will target the Grade 3, $200,000 Noble Damsel, a one-mile turf test on October 23 at Belmont.

High Opinion boasts a record of 5-1-3-0 this year, including a rallying allowance win on July 31 at the Spa ahead of a closing second in the Grade 2 Ballston Spa on August 28, losing by a nose to Grade 1-winner Viadera.

Dutrow said he was so pleased with High Opinion’s effort last out that the narrow loss barely stung.

“I was elated that she was able to take that step up. I was more happy than I was sad,” Dutrow said. “For her to give us a performance like that, I think defeat was secondary. I was so happy she could compete so well against good horses.”

Cypress Creek Equine’s Don’t Wait Up, a 2-year-old son of Upstart, posted a bullet half-mile breeze in 46 flat Saturday over Big Sandy in preparation for a start in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity on October 9 at Keeneland.

“He went fast that day but seemed to do it the right way and he definitely came out of it the right way,” Dutrow said. “I would have been a little happier with 47 than 46, but if he runs big Saturday, then we'll have done the right thing.”

Don’t Wait Up was bumped at the start of his August 12 debut sprinting six furlongs at Saratoga and recovered to miss by a nose when second. 

Last out, the talented bay colt led gate-to-wire at the same distance over a muddy and sealed Spa main track on September 6, securing an 80 Beyer in a two-length win over Commandperformance, who is entered in Saturday’s Grade 1 Champagne. 

Timothy O’Toole’s Price Talk, a 4-year-old Kitten’s Joy gelding, won at first asking on September 25 for Dutrow after being claimed for $50,000 out of a winning effort traveling 1 1/16-miles on the Saratoga turf on August 13.

Price Talk, with Hall of Famer Javier Castellano up, rallied from sixth in the nine-furlong optional-claiming event over good Belmont turf, garnering a career-best 99 Beyer.

Dutrow said he was pleased with the winning effort and will look to find one more spot for the gelding this year.

“He ran very good off the claim,” Dutrow said. “I think watching him run a mile and an eighth that day we can run him a little farther, but I don't know when that is. I'll look to run him once more this year and that will be it.”

Dutrow traveled across the pond this past week to the Goffs Ireland Sale, where he acquired two yearling fillies. The veteran conditioner purchased a half-sister to Grade 1 Saratoga Derby winner State of Rest, by Dandy Man out of the unraced Quiet American mare Repose. Her third dam is It’s In the Air, the 1978 Champion 2 Year Old Filly, and comes from the same extended family as Musical Chimes, a Grade 1-winner on turf, and five-time Grade 1-winner Music Note – the dam of Group 1 Dubai World Cup winner Mystic Guide. 

Dutrow, in partnership with Niall Brennan, also acquired a Sea the Stars filly out of the Street Cry mare Aaraamm – a full-sister to Group 2 winner Saamidd. Her fourth dam, Group 1-winner and producer Brocade, is the dam of multiple Group 1-winners Gossamer and Barathea- the winner of the 1994 Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Piedi Bianchi to skip G3 Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational in favor of $150K Cardinal

Trainer Carlos Martin said Piedi Bianchi will scratch from Saturday’s Grade 3 Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational in favor of the $150,000 Cardinal, a 1 1/16-mile main track event for Indiana-bred fillies and mares slated for October 6 at Indiana Grand. 

Piedi Bianchi, a 6-year-old Indiana-bred daughter of Overanalyze, drew the inside post in a solid field of nine for the Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational where she would have been tasked with facing the boys for the first time.

"This race here came up a little salty and the one-hole forces our hand a little bit, so the Indiana race made more sense at this point," Martin said. "She'll leave this morning and hopefully put on a good show for the fans there October 6."

Owned by Jay Oringer, Jack Bick, Al Bianchi Racing, Adam Bayroff and Mike Maturo, the multiple graded-stakes placed Piedi Bianchi was named the 2020 Indiana Horse of the Year for a campaign that included a runner-up effort in the Merrillville and a second career score in the Frances Slocum at Indiana Grand. The versatile mare also posted a win in the six-furlong Correction last March on the Big A main track.

She enters from a 2 1/2-length score over multiple stakes winner Lead Guitar and graded-stakes placed Robin Sparkles last out in the 5 1/2-furlong Smart N Fancy over yielding turf at Saratoga Race Course. Tyler Gaffalione, who engineered the winning Smart N Fancy trip, will again pilot Piedi Bianchi in the Cardinal. 

"Tyler got along with her swimmingly well in Saratoga. That won't hurt," Martin said.
