Devil
May Care had a good morning following her victory in Saturday’s Grade 1
Mother Goose, trainer Todd Pletcher reported.
“She
came out of the race in excellent shape,” said Pletcher, who has the Grade 1
Betfair TVG Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga Race Course on Saturday,
July 24, scheduled for her next start, to be followed by the Grade 1 Betfair
TVG Alabama on Saturday, August 21.
The
daughter of Malibu Moon extended her record to four victories from seven starts
in the Mother Goose, with both Grade 1 wins coming at Belmont Park,
the other being last October’s Frizette.
Pletcher,
who turned 43 Saturday, celebrated his birthday at home after the races and had
a typically busy Sunday morning. Among the “Todd Squad” members working were Quality
Road, who went a half-mile in 50.76, galloping out in 1:03.20, as he
prepares for his next start in the Grade 1 Whitney at Saratoga Race Course on
August 7.
“He
went well,” said the trainer.
Also
working were Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver [5F, 1:01.82], Le
Grand Cru [4F, 48.44], Take the Points [4F, inner turf, 47.15], and Munnings
and Hunters Bay, who went five furlongs together in 1:00.09,
galloping out in 1:12.10.
