Trainer
Jimmy Toner reported Monday morning that Winter Memories came out of her
fourth-place finish in the Woodford Reserve Lake Placid in good order, and that
the Grade 1 Garden City on September 17 at
Belmont
Park remains the next objective for the
big gray filly.
“She
came out of it fine, and that’s the important thing,” said Toner. “And this
morning, I’m fine, too.”
Bottled
up while racing between horses throughout the 1 1/8-mile race, Winter Memories
found room along the rail in deep stretch but was outrun by
Hungry
Island , Kathmanblu and Dynamic Holiday,
finishing a little more than three lengths back.
“It
was an eventful race and kind of hard to watch there for a while,” Toner said.
“She did her thing; it wasn’t her fault she got beat. It’s going to be a Pepto
Bismol day around here.
“We’ll
go ahead and point to the Garden City,” said Toner. “Our plans are still the
same.”
