The Ladies Turf Sprint, a five-furlong dash for older fillies and mares, will be a supporting feature to the $100,000 Suwannee River (Grade 3), a mile-and-one- eighth turf stakes on Saturday’s 12-race program. The 6-year-old daughter of Animal Kingdom finished second to Florida-bred Hear My Prayer in the Jan. 1 Abundantia Stakes at Gulfstream, in which she showed a new dimension while closing from off the pace after breaking from the rail post position. “We didn’t mean to do that. The one hole cost us the win, I guess we can say,” trainer Rodolphe Brisset said. “A horse came over and Julien [Leparoux] had to check twice. Then, she came back running. We were happy with the run, but the one hole was a tough task.” Victory Kingdom, who will be ridden by Tyler Gaffalione Saturday, will have to deal with the rail post position again. However, the Australian-bred mare won’t necessarily be tasked with coming from off the pace. “She’s very versatile. It’s a five-furlong race, so you have to make sure you break and then see where you are. If we’re on the lead, that’s fine. If the speed goes too fast, we can set off it. That’s fine too,” Brisset said. Victory Kingdom won one of 11 starts in Australia, where she was group-placed twice, before being brought to the U.S. to continue her career.
