We had talked about the Blame as a prep but when the schedule was shuffled around, we just decided to stick with the plan to run him in the Foster.” With the redesigned stakes schedule at Churchill Downs and NYRA, Tom’s d’Etat will be without his regular pilot Joel Rosario for the Stephen Foster due to his previous riding engagements in New York. Instead, Stall has installed one of his local go-to riders, Miguel Mena, to ride Tom’s d E’tat from post five. Even though Stall opted to skip the Blame with Tom’s d’Etat, one of his main rivals in the Stephen Foster, Owendale, took full advantage of the May 23 one-mile race with a hard-closing half- length score under Florent Geroux. Tom’s d’Etat is out of Julia Tuttle, by Giant’s Causeway and he has earned $1,326,572 while winning 10 of 17 starts. Trained by Brad Cox, Owendale will attempt to get the better of Tom’s d’Etat following his runner-up effort in last year’s Clark. Owendale, a 4-year-old son of Into Mischief, targeted some of the top 3-year-old events last year where he won a trio of Grade 3 events in the $200,000 Lexington Stakes, the $500,000 Ohio Derby and $400,000 Oklahoma Derby. Owendale also finished third in last year’s $1.5 million Preakness (G1). “He was impressive coming back at one-turn [in the Blame],” Cox said. “He is a horse who I think will excel at two turns and his last race was just a prep as his first start of 2020. He ran some tough races last year but appears to have taken a step forward now that he’s older.” Owendale is out of Aspen Light, by Bernardini and has won six of 15 lifetime starts. He has earned $1,129,185 for owners Rupp Racing. Geroux will be in the saddle on Saturday from post eight. Another top older horse that entered the Stephen Foster is last year’s $1 million TwinSpires.com Louisiana Derby (G2)-hero By My Standards. Trained by Bret Calhoun, Florient Geroux/BURNS PHOTO By My Standards returned as a 4-year-old in February at Fair Grounds with a convincing three-length victory in the $400,000 New Orleans Stakes (G2). By My Standards enters the Stephen Foster following a length-and-three-quarters win in last month’s $600,000 Oaklawn Stakes (G2). Gabriel Saez, who has been aboard By My Standards for all of his nine-career races, was named to ride in the Stephen Foster and drew post six. By My Standards is by Goldencents out of A Jealous Woman, by Muqtarib. He has won five of nine career starts with earning $1,281,910. Also entered in the Stephen Foster is By My Standards’ stable- mate Silver Dust, a winner of six of 28 starts and $787,577. Owned by Tom Durant, Silver Dust is a three-time graded stakes winner including a narrow victory in February’s $200,000 Mineshaft Stakes (G3) at Fair Grounds. Silver Dust finished third, only three-quarters of a length behind Owendale, in the Blame.

Back to Top Page 9 Travers, Haskell in Play for Dr Post BY NYRA PRESS OFFICE ______ELMONT, NY—Trainer Todd Pletcher report- ed that Dr Post emerged from his game runner- up effort in Saturday's Grade 1 Belmont Stakes in good order, and that the son of Quality Road could be slated for more Grade 1 action. Pletcher, a three-time winner of the Belmont, said the $1 million Haskell Invitational (G1) on July 18 at Monmouth Park or the $1 million Runhappy Travers (G1) on Aug. 8 at Saratoga are both likely targets for the dark bay colt. "Both of those races are in play. It just depends on how he bounces out of the race," Pletcher said. "We were always confident that a route of ground will not be an issue for him. He finished up well. It was a very encouraging effort." Owned by Vinnie Viola's St. Elias Stable, Dr Post arrived at this year's first leg of the Triple Crown off a stakes triumph in the Unbridled at Gulfstream Park on April 25 after breaking his maiden over the South Florida oval just one day after Belmont Stakes winner Tiz the Law picked up a second Grade 1 victory in the Curlin Florida Derby. "We always felt confident that a lot of ground won't be an issue for him. It was a very encouraging effort," Pletcher said. "Considering he broke his maiden the day after Tiz the Law won the Florida Derby, that's a lot of progress to make in short period of time. Hopefully he keeps improving."
