Wood
Shadwell's homebred 3-year-old Shagaf has won his three starts by a combined margin of almost 10 lengths, but trainer Chad Brown believes he hasn't reached his limit. Shagaf, who never has raced less than one mile and won the grade III Gotham Stakes at 1 1/16 miles in his last start March 5, is one of two colts Brown plans to run in the 1 1/8-mile Wood Memorial Stakes (gr. I) at Aqueduct Racetrack. The other is Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence's Flexibility, winner of the grade III Jerome Stakes in January. (Brown: Undefeated Shagaf Has Room to Improve)
Bluegrass
Michael Tabor, Mrs. John Magnier, Derrick Smith and Stonestreet Stables’ Zulu was installed as the 5-2 morning-line favorite for Saturday’s 92nd running of the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1). A total of 16 3-year-olds were entered Tuesday with the Ken and Sarah Ramsey-owned duo of Pinson and Hint of Roses being placed on the also-eligible list. (Zulu is the Tabbed Choice in the Bluegrass).
