Rushing Fall Takes Aim at Edgewood


Recommended Posts

E Five Racing’s unbeaten Rushing Fall (More Than Ready) will look to take her record to a perfect five-for-five in the GIII Edgewood S. at Churchill Downs Friday. The bay filly sailed through her juvenile campaign, following her debut win at Belmont in September with victories in the Oct. 11 GIII Jessamine S. and Nov. 3 GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. She showed no signs of rust when opening 2018 with a sparkling victory in the Apr. 8 GII Appalachian S. last time out. A good performance Friday could take Rushing Fall to Royal Ascot where she’s been nominated to the June 22 GI Coronation S. With rain in the forecast Friday, trainer Chad Brown also entered the the filly against males in Saturday’s GII American Turf S.

Figarella’s Queen (Medaglia d’Oro) will make her first graded stakes appearance in the Edgewood. Previously campaigned by Grupo 7C Racing Stable and trainer Gustavo Delgado, she goes postward Friday for Qatar Racing, Hunter Valley Farm and Marc Detampel and trainer Brad Cox. The bay filly graduated over the Gulfstream turf Feb. 25 and went wire-to-wire for a nose tally in the Mar. 31 Sanibel Island S.

Daddy Is a Legend (Scat Daddy), second behind Rushing Fall in that filly’s maiden win at Belmont last September, graduated going nine furlongs at Keeneland in her next outing in October. She closed stoutly to cap her juvenile season with a win in the Nov. 25 GIII Jimmy Durante S. at Del Mar and will look to improve on a troubled fourth-place effort in the Apr. 8 GII Appalachian S.
