TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 2013 732-747-8060 $ TDN Home Page Click Here KATIE TURNS BACK FOR OLD HAT SOPHOMORES SQUARE OFF AT GULFSTREAM Stonestreet Stables=s J “TDN Rising Star” J A pair of intriguing stakes events for sophomores at Kauai Katie (Malibu Moon) will look to keep her Gulfstream today kick off the Florida leg of the 2013 undefeated record at sprint distances intact in Derby trail. John Oxley=s Star Contender (Henny Gulfstream=s GIII Old Hat Hughes) makes his dirt debut in the one-mile S. for newly turned Gulfstream Park Derby. A winner of the Cup and Saucer 3-year-old fillies this S. over yielding Woodbine sod Oct. 20, the bay was afternoon. An effortless last seen finishing second in the main-track Coronation winner of both the Futurity Nov. 10. AWe had a lot of nice 2-year-olds this Aug. 12 GII Adirondack S. year and he was the greenest of the bunch,@ said and Sept. 30 GII Matron trainer Mark Casse, who will be putting blinkers on Star S. after a smashing Contender for the first time. AHe=s Canadian-bred and Saratoga debut in July, there are so many good races for them at Woodbine, so the $490,000 Fasig- we just left him up there. He=s trained very well on dirt, Tipton Florida grad could but it=s a question you want to answer.@ The bay sports do no better than fourth a pair of upbeat works at Palm Meadows in preparation after chasing Beholder for this. Kauai Katie Coglianese/NYRA (Henny Hughes) in the The six-furlong Spectacular Bid S. may be the 8 1/2 furlong GI Breeders= tougher of the two races, with Merit Man (With Cup Juvenile Fillies Nov. 2. AIt wasn=t a bad race,@ Distinction) getting the morning-line nod at 6-5 coming noted trainer Todd Pletcher, who last won this event in off a nose defeat in Breeders= Cup Juvenile Sprint 2008 with Game Face (Menifee). AIt was probably a Nov. 2. AHe ran a great race,@ trainer Bob Hess, Jr. said little farther than she wants to go. She=ll probably be of that contest. AI think he got to loafing a little bit out best at sprint distances for now, and this is a good spot there on the lead. We think we=ve learned a few things to get started.@ The bay enters with back-to-back bullet about him since then.@ Little Distorted (Distorted works at Palm Meadows Dec. 19 and Dec. 26. Humor) is a close second choice on the line at 8-5, but Glorilu Stables=s Power Lady (Discreet Cat) may have he could easily go off lower. The chestnut was also been undefeated going short if not for some traffic purchased privately by Silverton Hill Farm from Kuehne trouble in her last. The bay romped by 11 3/4 lengths Racing and transferred to Darrin Miller from Michael when unveiled at Penn National Sept. 30 and cruised by Mareina after a 101 Beyer Speed Figure-earning debut 7 3/4 lengths in a Parx allowance Oct. 6, but she score at Belmont Oct. 28. The runner-up that day finished third, beaten 1 1/4 lengths, last time in Laurel=s Revolutionary (War Pass) earned a 102 for his 8 1/2- Nov. 3 Smart Halo S. AShe was in behind a wall of length graduation tally at the Big A Friday. Fields p3 horses the whole race and turning for home, she had an opening on the inside,@ recalled trained John Servis of the Smart Halo. AShe went for it and the horse in front came down on top of her.@ Servis acknowledged that Kauai Katie will take some beating, saying, AI=m glad she=s in the one hole and inside of me, but she=s also a very talented filly. This will be a good test for my filly to see where she=s at.@ Power Lady will be racing with Lasix for the first time. Steve Ballou and Harriet Waldron=s Cor Cor (Smoke Glacken) comes off a victory in Tampa Bay=s Sandpiper S. and has been working up a storm at that oval. She figures to join the chalk up front early.
