(Saturday, Sept. 5, 2020) – It was a thrilling Friday for the team of Brad Cox and Florent Geroux as the duo teamed up for their second Longines Kentucky Oaks (Grade I) victory in the last three years with Qatar Racing, Flurry Racing and Big Aut Farm’s Shedaresthedevil. “It was such an unbelievable day,” Cox said. “This filly has a ton of heart and Flo gave her the perfect ride.” Cox had an eerily similar morning Saturday as he did in 2018 following Monomoy Girl’s Kentucky Oaks victory. The Louisville native continued his regular routine with 10 of his horses recording published workouts. “It’s the life of a trainer,” Cox said. “Horses like Monomoy Girl and Shedaresthedevil make this job all worth it.” SWISS SKYDIVER – Trainer Kenny McPeek reported that “all is good” with Peter J. Callahan’s Kentucky Oaks runner up Swiss Skydiver despite exiting the race with a few cuts on a front ankle. Next race plans are “undecided” for the multiple stakes winner as of Saturday morning, according to McPeek. Following the race, the trainer made a case for bringing the stallion Daredevil, who was sold to Turkey late last year, back to the U.S., noting he sired both Swiss Skydiver and the Oaks winner Shedaresthedevil. “They need to get him back here,” McPeek said. “He’s a good stallion.” GAMINE – Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert reported that Michael Lund Petersen’s Gamine “looked great” and was in good order the morning after finishing third as the favorite in the 146th edition of the Longines Kentucky Oaks.
