Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 22, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 22, 2019 LNJ Foxwoods’ Covfefe (Into Mischief) is on target for the GI Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Santa Anita Nov. 4, according to trainer Brad Cox Sunday. The flashy filly came home an impressive eight-length winner in Saturday’s Dogwood S. at Churchill Downs. Cox added that Covfefe exited the Dogwood in good shape, and will return to training in a few days. “At the beginning of the year, the [GI] Test [S. at Saratoga] was always the goal,” trainer Brad Cox said. “After we accomplished that goal, we set our sights on the Breeders’ Cup and how to get there. We figured the Dogwood was the best place to get her ready since it is in our own backyard and we didn’t have to ship anywhere. I think she’s ready for the Breeders’ Cup after that.” Covfefe smashed the Dogwood record in a final time of 1:20.51–2.51 seconds faster than LNJ Foxwoods’ 2015 winner Super Majesty (Super Saver), who stopped the teletimer in 1:23.02. The seven-furlong time was only .07 seconds off champion Groupie Doll (Bowman’s Band)’s 2012 track record of 1:20.44. “We could have easily gotten the track record but why push her when she was doing it so easily,” said Shaun Bridgmohan. “As a jockey, when you look over a horse mid-race who’s going :22 and :44, and she’s looking over to her competition like they’re nothing, you know the horse is special.” The post Covfefe to Breeders’ Cup F&M Sprint appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
