May Day Ready, the Grade 2 Jessamine winner who finished second in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, will make her 3-year-old debut in the Grade 2, $300,000 Wonder Again Stakes at Saratoga on June 7, trainer Joe Lee said Friday.
Lee had been pointing May Day Ready to the Edgewood Stakes at Churchill on May 2, but the filly came into season and Lee could not prepare her for a race like he wanted.
May Day Ready spent the winter at Fair Grounds and then moved to Keeneland, where she remains.
“The rain is getting in our way a little bit,” Lee said. “I’m going to work her two more times there and ship her to Saratoga.
◗ White Abarrio, preparing for a start in the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap, worked a half-mile in 49.27 seconds over Saratoga’s main track, his first local work since shipping in from South Florida. White Abarrio worked in company with the mare Bustin Bullet.
