• Trainer Blaine Wright said via text Tuesday morning that Peter Redekop's Anothertwistafate (Scat Daddy), runner-up in the GIII Lexington S. at Keeneland Apr. 13, would be flying back to his home base at Golden Gate in Northern California and train there for the GI Preakness S. Anothertwistafate earned a berth in the Preakness by winning the El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Feb. 16.

Serengeti Empress (Alternation), heroine of the GII Rachel Alexandra S., fired a five-furlong bullet in :58.20 (1/30) at Churchill Tuesday morning. She was vanned off after finishing a distant seventh as the 1-5 favorite in the GII Fair Grounds Oaks Mar. 23. “She bled through the nostrils after the Fair Grounds Oaks,” said trainer Tom Amoss outside his barn, minutes after an endoscopic exam showed her lungs following a five-furlong workout were clear. Amoss added, “We're a go, as long as she looks good tomorrow, and trains correctly, we'll run in the [GI] Kentucky Oaks.”
