Seize the Grey to Skip Travers in Favor of Pennsylvania Derby

[Wandering Eyes]

Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas expressed his desire on Sunday to run GI Preakness Stakes winner Seize the Grey (Arrogate) in the Aug. 24 GI Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. Tim Wilkin covered Lukas's perspective extensively in Saratoga Notebook, presented by NYRA Bets.

On Tuesday, according to Daily Racing Form's David Grening, Lukas confirmed Seize the Grey will instead be pointed to the Sept. 21 GI Pennsylvania Derby at Parx. Although he trains at Saratoga, the 3-year-old colt has finished off the board in his two starts at the Spa this summer, the GI Belmont Stakes and the GII Jim Dandy Stakes.

Seize the Grey will stand at Gainesway upon his retirement. The MyRacehorse runner worked Monday over the Oklahoma surface, covering five furlongs in 1:01.55.
