ARAWAK JOINS PROSPECTIVE FIELD FOR TOYOTA BLUE GRASS

Jack Sisterson, assistant to trainer Doug O’Neill, said Monday morning that plans are to enter R3 Racing, Steven Keh and CTR Stables’ Arawak on Tuesday for Saturday’s 94^th running of the $1 million Toyota Blue Grass (G2).

“It looks like we are going to enter both,” Sisterson said, referring to Arawak and Greg Hall and SAYJAY Racing’s Blended Citizen.

Blended Citizen and Arawak finished first and third, respectively, in the Jeff Ruby Steaks (G3) at Turfway Park on March 17. The two colts arrived at Keeneland on March 26 and worked 5 furlongs together here Saturday, with Blended Citizen being clocked in 1:01 and Arawak in 1:01.20.

Both colts returned to the track Monday morning, jogging over surface rated as “good” with exercise rider Jonny Garcia aboard each.

A full gate of 14 is expected for the Toyota Blue Grass, which carries 170 points toward the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) on a 100-40-20-10 basis for the first four finishers.

Other probables include California Night, Determinant, Flameaway, Free Drop Billy, Good Magic, Gotta Go, Heartfullofstars, Machismo, Quip, Sporting Chance, Tiz Mischief and Zing Zang. Kanthaka is considered as a possible starter.

On Monday...

Today’s “Lock” is at Northfield Park on race 11 with the #9-SASS-Class dropper in great form and retains Arron Merriman in the bike.

Last “Lock” was a late scratch. Record now stands at:  Record now stands at: 200 of 333 wins with 60 seconds and 23 thirds.
