Less than 12 hours after her impressive
victory over the boys in the Grade 1, $750,000 Woodward, Havre de Grace was on the road back to
trainer Larry Jones’ base at
Delaware
Park.
“We left early to beat the traffic, and the trip was fine,” said Jones
after their arrival late this morning. “She came out of the race well, and
everything is good.”
Jones and owner Rick Porter have the Grade 1, $300,000 Beldame at
Belmont
Park on October 1 penciled
in for the 4-year-old filly’s next start as she points toward either the
Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic or the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs in
November.
“More than likely it will be the Beldame, depending on the next couple of
days,” said Jones, who celebrated Havre de Grace’s victory with a trip to Boston
Market for take-out. “But she came out of the race very, very well.”
