Marley's Freedom Looks to Get Back on Track in Go For Wand

Marley's Freedom | Sarah Andrew

Bob Baffert is dangerous shipping into any racetrack, but he does especially well when sending a runner to New York and will be represented in Aqueduct's GIII Go For Wand H. Saturday by Marley's Freedom (Blame). Romping in the GIII Desert Stormer S. at Santa Anita in May in her first start for the Hall of Famer after transferring from Bob Hess, the bay followed suit with a win in the GII Great Lady M S. at Los Alamitos July 7. Scoring a career high last time she shipped to New York with a decisive victory in the GI Ballerina S. at Saratoga Aug. 25, she looks to make amends for a fourth-place finish as the heavy favorite in the GI Breeders' Cup F/M Sprint at Churchill Downs Nov. 3.

Victorious in the Shine Again S. at Saratoga Aug. 1, Your Love (Flatter) was a close second in the GII Gallant Bloom H. at Belmont Sept. 23. Another of interest is Bonita Bianca (Curlin), who enters off a six-length romp in the Empire Distaff H. against fellow NY-breds at Belmont Oct. 20.
