The other Florida-bred in the race, Cajun Casanova, goes off at 5-1 with Patrick Husbands on board for trainer Michael V. Pino. Owned by Smart Angle LLP, the colt was bred by Frank D. Yates’ Shadybrook Farm in Morriston. Out of ten starts, the horse has four firsts, one second and two thirds with earnings of $186,750. One of the rare times the horse hasn’t finished in the money was his last time out at Monmouth Park on July 12 where he finished sixth in the My Frenchman Stakes. Since then, he has been posting regular workouts at Parx Racing. The 2017 colt is by Cajun Breeze and is out of the Concerto mare Theladysaidno.

MONMOUTH PRESS OFFICE ______The way Natalia Lynch had it planned out in her mind is that she would spend another year or so working as an assistant trainer before trying to go out on her own. Then owner Al Gold offered to let her train nine horses from Gold Square LLC. So on Aug. 25, Lynch, known by her nickname “Tally,” offi- cially became a licensed trainer. A day later, she saddled her first starter. And now on Saturday, with just the fourth starter in her bur- geoning career, the 26-year-old Lynch will send out Wendell Fong in the $100,000 Mr. Prospector Stakes that headlines Monmouth Park’s 14-race card that day. “It’s very surreal,” she said. “I haven’t had time to sit down and process how quickly everything has happened yet. I remember the day I got my trainer’s license I was walking out of the office and a trainer said to me `who do you work for?’ I looked down at the license and said `I guess myself now.’ “I keep telling myself that this is not any different than what I have been doing for a long time. This is something I have been working for. When Al Gold gave me this opportunity I couldn’t turn it down. So my one-year process before going out on my own Natalia Lynch/EQUIPHOTO turned into a two-week plan.” Vargas back on him because they did so well together when Lynch, who will be based at Belmont Park, currently has 10 Wendell Fong was a 3-year-old.” horses overall, eight from Gold Square (one was claimed).

And I keep reminding myself that all of them started somewhere, too.” A 4-year-old son of Flat Out, Wendell Fong (the horse’s name is an obscure reference from an episode in the old “Frasier” TV sitcom) will need to re-capture his 3-year-old form if the colt is to become Lynch’s first career winner. Robertino Diodoro trained the horse in his last start, when he was fifth in an $80,000 optional claimer at Saratoga on July 23. Jorge Vargas, Jr., who rode the horse his first six career starts and accounted for all three of Wendell Fong’s career victories, has the mount. “He’s a really cool horse,” said Lynch. “His last race he was a little bit out of form but I had a thought to give him one more shot in a stakes race. He was running really good in stakes company at Oaklawn and I felt the race at Monmouth Park fit him. We put
