Continued from COVER Nekia had shown steady improvement since finishing third in a $35,000 starter allowance won by Honor Way at Belmont Park on Oct. 16. In her next start and in the race from which Joseph claimed her, Queen Nekia dominated a first conditioned, $25,000 optional claiming race at a mile, winning by six lengths at Gulfstream on Dec. 6. She then stepped up in competition on Jan. 16 into a second tier, $62,500 optional claiming race at Gulfstream in her first start for Joseph and won that mile-and- one-sixteenth event by a length-and-a-quarter. Joseph then asked Queen Nekia to take another big step up in class on Feb. 15 in the Grade 3 Royal Delta Stakes at Gulfstream and she responded with a solid third-place finish behind Florida- bred winner Cookie Dough before she went to Oaklawn for the Apple Blossom debacle. Queen Nekia is by Harlington out of All Night Labor, by Double Honor and she was bred in Florida by Porter Racing Stable LLC. She now races in the red colors of owner Ken Copenhaver and has won eight of 25 starts with earnings of $318,158. Queen Nekia will start from post three and Samy Camacho will ride her for the first time Saturday. Also expected to get plenty of support through the mutuel windows is Nonna Madeline and jockey Edgard Zayas in post one. As a 2-year-old in 2018, Nonna Madeline faced some of the best of her class when second in the Grade 3 Schuylerville Stakes and fifth Edgard Zayas/COGLIANESE PHOTO in both the Grade 1 Spinaway and the Grade 1 Frizette. She then had 15 months away from the races but returned with a strong five-and-three-quarter-length win in a first level allowance race at Gulfstream Park going seven furlongs on Dec. 19. Trained by Todd Pletcher for Teresa Viola Racing Stables and St. Elias Stable, Nonna Madeline was third to winner Pink Sands in the Grade 2 Inside Information Stakes going seven furlongs at Gulfstream on Jan. 26 and fourth behind winner Sally’s Curlin in the seven furlong Hurricane Bertie Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream on March 14. Most recently, Nonna Madeline was second to Letruska, who she faces again in the Added Elegance, in a top level, $50,000 optional claiming race going a mile-and-one-sixteenth at Gulfstream on April 16. Nonna Madeline is by Candy Ride (Arg) out of Cool Storm, by Storm Bird and she has won two of eight career starts with earnings of $143,800. After defeating Nonna Madeline on April 16, Letruska went on to finish second to Blamed in her next start against top conditioned, $75,000 optional claimers going a mile on April 30 at Gulfstream. Nonna Madeline has drawn post one and Edgard Zayas is set to ride.

Another Florida-bred who could threaten in the Added Elegance is Heirssall, a winner of a high level, $75,000 optional claiming race going six furlongs at Gulfstream in her last race on May 14.

Back to Top Page 7 Promises Fulfilled Headlines Saturday's True North Stakes BY KEITH MCCALMONT, NYRA PRESS OFFICE____ ELMONT, NY—Robert Baron and WinStar Farm's Grade 1-winner Promises Fulfilled returns off a more than eight month layoff to headline Saturday's $150,000 True North Stakes (Grade 2), a six-and-a-half-furlong sprint for 4- years-old and older at Belmont Park. Trained by Dale Romans, the 5-year-old Shackleford chestnut last raced in the Grade 2 Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix Stakes on Oct. 4 at Keeneland when sixth, defeated less than four lengths. That effort capped off an otherwise sparkling campaign that included four wins, led by a four- and-a-half-length romp in the seven furlong Grade 2 John A. Nerud in July at Belmont that garnered a career-best 108 Beyer Speed Figure. Promises Fulfilled, who will ship up to New York from Kentucky on Thursday, has trained forwardly at Churchill Downs, including a bullet five-eighths breeze in :59 flat on June 13 and a similarly speedy effort in :59.20 Saturday on the Churchill Downs main track. "He had ankle surgery [during his time off] and since he's come back he's been training very well," Romans said. "He just keeps getting better. There's a lot of money out there for him. I think he'll run well. He's doing good enough." Promises Fulfilled, who sizzled to a front-running score in the 2018 H. Allen Jerkens Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course, boasts a record of seven wins from 17 starts with purse earnings of $1,455,530. After running fourth in last year's Runhappy Met Mile in June, he turned back successfully with a dominating front- end effort in the Grade 2 John A. Nerud under regular pilot Luis Saez. Romans said he expects a similar approach on Saturday Promises Fulfilled/ROB MAUHAR PHOTO when Promises Fulfilled bursts out of post seven under Saez.

"He's going to do the same thing this time, on Dec. 22, also at six furlongs. they're going to have to come get him." In his last start before the break in racing, the 5-year-old Florida-bred Firenze Fire makes his first start since finishing Firenze Fire won the Grade 3 General George Stakes by four fourth behind winner Vekoma in the Grade 1 Runhappy Carter lengths over seven furlongs at Laurel on Feb. 15.

Last out, in an April 25 optional-claiming sprint at Gulfstream Park, Yorkton set the pace but could not fend off last year's Grade 3 Peter Pan champ Global Campaign in a solid runner-up effort. Following that effort, Yorkton has breezed five times at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland. "He's coming out of the really tough allowance race down in Florida that came off like a graded race," Motion said. "I thought he ran a huge race that day. I think it took a lot out of him, which is why I wasn't in a hurry to get him back into the entries." Dylan Davis will pilot Yorkton from post five.

BY CHURCHILL DOWNS PRESS OFFICE ______LOUISVILLE, KY—G M B Racing’s 2019 Clark (Grade 1)-winner Tom’s d’Etat was installed as the even-money morning line favorite for Saturday’s $500,000 Stephen Foster presented by Coca-Cola (Grade 2)—a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” event for the Nov. 7 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1). The mile-and-one-eighth Stephen Foster is the headliner of a stakes quartet on Saturday’s 11-race program. The day of racing also will feature the $200,000 Fleur de Lis presented by Coca-Cola (G2), $100,000 Regret presented by TwinSpires.com (G3) and $100,000 Bashford Manor presented by TwinSpires.com (G3). First post is 1 p.m. ET. Bettors will have large wagering pools to tackle including a $250,000-guaranteed Late Pick 5 pool. The 50-cent bet will begin in race seven—a five-and-a-half-furlong turf allowance event. The next four races will be the Bashford Manor, Fleur de Lis, Stephen Foster and Regret, respectively. Tom’s d’Etat has won four of his last five starts including a 3 ¼- length score in last year’s $600,000 Clark (G1). The now 7-year-old son of Smart Strike enters Saturday’s Stephen Foster following a hard-fought victory in the April 11 $150,000 Oaklawn Mile. “I’m not worried about he’s going to show up in the Foster; he runs very well fresh,” trainer Al Stall Jr. said. “This race will feed us into the rest of the year, which looks like it’s setting up well with the schedules in New York and elsewhere. … This is his home track and has a visual of it in front of his stall, sort of like Blame did.” Stall is not a stranger to success in the Stephen Foster. He won the race in 2010 with the aforementioned Blame prior to his victory over Zenyatta in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Blame would go on to become the 2010 Champion Older Male.

Back to Top Page 15 Mean Mary Looks to Intimidate Competition in New York Stakes BY BRIAN BOHL, NYRA PRESS OFFICE______ELMONT, NY—Trainer Graham Motion will saddle a pair of graded stakes winners as part of a seven-horse field of older fillies and mares in the Grade 2, $250,000 New York Stakes (G2) at a mile-and-one-quarter on Belmont Park's inner turf on Saturday. Among Motion's trainees is Alex G. Campbell, Jr.'s Mean Mary, who has started her 4-year-old campaign with consecutive graded stakes wins in front-running fashion. The Kentucky homebred went gate-to-wire to win the mile-and-a-half La Prevoyante (G3) in January over the Gulfstream Park turf and followed with another winning effort on the course by leading a 12-horse field through every point of call in the mile-and-three-eighths Grade 3 Orchid Stakes (G3) on March 28. She has won her last three starts overall, ranging from a mile-and-an-eighth to a mile-and-a-half. "Her career took off in Florida," Motion said. "We thought from her first race that she was talented and it seems like she's got- ten better and better. The first time I ran her in the longer stake, it was more because of the circumstances and lack of options.

TORONTO – Canada’s reigning three- time Champion Male Sprinter Pink Lloyd kicked off his eight-year-old campaign with a record fourth straight victory in the $125,000 Jacques Cartier Stakes and recorded his 20th stakes win overall on Thursday at Woodbine Racetrack. Jockey Rafael Hernandez, who part- nered with Pink Lloyd for his previous 1:08.05 track record victory in the 2018 edition of the Jacques Cartier, was reunited with the chestnut gelding for the 67th running of the Grade 3 six-furlong sprint. Pink Lloyd, carrying 124 pounds, stalked three-wide just off the lead through fractions of :22.23 and :44.53 before taking over command down the stretch to score by two lengths in 1:09.61. Malibu Secret finished second off a ground-saving trip ahead of Not So Quiet while pacesetter Circle of Friends completed the finish order in the compact field of four. “He broke well, he did his thing,” said Hernandez. “He’s older, he knows how to win. He can come from anywhere, he just does his thing. He showed up today. He’s one of the best, he does his job. He don’t give up, never.” Hernandez, who has competed against Pink Lloyd in 20 prior starts, noted it was nice to be aboard for the win instead of chasing the revered Old Forester gelding. “That’s right, you know how many times I’ve tried to figure out how I can put Pink Lloyd/BURNS PHOTO my horse in different positions to try to beat him,” said Hernandez. “The only way works out.
