Friday’s $100,000 Yaddo for New
York-bred fillies and mares has drawn a competitive field of nine, with three
also-eligibles who could run if the race is moved to the main track.
The second- through sixth-place
finishers from Saratoga ’s Irish Linnet overnight
stakes on July 24 – Gitchee Goomie,
Frivolous Buck, Mystic City, Paraiba and Exclusive Scheme – will all meet again
in the Yaddo.
Gitchee Goomie assumes the 2-1
morning-line favorite’s role in the 1 1/16-mile race off her narrow defeat to
Chorus Music in the Irish Linnet. An ultra consistent 4-year-old daughter of
City Zip, Gitchee Goomie has compiled an impressive record of 4-6-1 from 12
lifetime starts, with one win and two seconds over the Saratoga turf.
Four new shooters will join the
field, with Rogue’s Jewel most
recently victorious in a turf optional claimer at the Yaddo distance on July 25
and Great Gracie Dane exiting a
third-place effort in a turf allowance here on opening Saturday. Centrina won a starter allowance on the
turf at Belmont on July 7, while In Te Domine comes off a fifth-place
finish in a seven-furlong turf optional claimer at Belmont on July 14. Spa City Princess, D’ Oratory and Beautiful Risk may ran if the Yaddo is
moved to the main track.
