G. Watts Humphrey Jr. homebred Frivolous (Empire Maker) will be entered in both Thursday's GII Falls City H. and Friday's GI Clark H. Trainer Vicki Oliver said the connections will choose which race Frivolous will run in after the draw. Frivolous, who won last year's Falls City H., was recently fourth in the GI Juddmonte Spinster S. Oct. 4 and fifth in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff Oct. 30.
“I'm pretty sure I know who is going in the Clark, but we'd like to see which post we like better and how the races look like they're going to set up,” Oliver said. “We'll make our decision in the next few days after we enter in the Clark. She's won the Falls City and winning it again would be super. If she could win it or be third in the Clark, she'd make about the same amount of money. To be a Grade I-winner or Grade I-placed against the boys in a prestigious race like the Clark is enticing for our mare. We're leaning to the Clark, but if we don't think we can be 1-2-3 in there, she'll go in the Falls City.”
Either the Clark or the Falls City will be the last start Frivolous' career. The 5-year-old will join Humphrey's broodmare band in Kentucky following the race.
