Wonder Lady Anne L works toward Alabama Stakes


Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) winner Wonder Lady Anne L turned in her final tuneup on Monday heading into the Alabama Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course, breezing six furlongs over the main track.

Ridden by Edgar Prado, Wonder Lady Anne L completed the move in 1:14.01, the fastest of seven at the distance.

"She did a nice, easy breeze, Edgar was very happy with her," trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. said. "I'm glad I saw what I saw."

Dutrow's plan is for Wonder Lady Anne L to run on Saturday in the Alabama, where she would face the likes of Adieu, Ex Caelis, Lemons Forever, Pine Island, Pyramid Love, Teammate, and Unbridled Belle.

"Unless something goes wrong, she's a definite," Dutrow said. "She's been doing very, very well lately."

Racing Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel said Sugar Swirl is probable for the race

Wonder Lady Anne L beat Ex Caelis, Pine Island, Teammate, and Unbridled Belle in the Coaching Club American Oaks, but Dutrow is not counting on an easy win.

"It still ain't no easy spot," Dutrow said.

Dutrow said Grade 1 winner Silver Wagon came out of his five-furlong breeze on Sunday in great shape as he eyes the Forego Handicap (G1) on September 2.

"He's good. He's on target," Dutrow said.

Among those eyeing the Forego with Silver Wagon are Commentator and Alfred G. Vanderbilt (G2) winner War Front.—Warren Alber

I honestly think she will. She took the worst of a rail I thought wasn't the place to be and had to battle first between horses before engaging a fast Sugar Shake on the rail. The pace was very fast on that dead track for a mile and a quarter and she still held off Shug's filly who had a trip behind that hot pace and rallied down the center of the track which was where I felt the best footing was. Shugs filly will be tough again and Adieu seems to be getting better but may be challenged by the distance. Prado is in an incredible zone right now as well.

Looks like she should be able to hold her own against that field. I hope she's up for the race!

I have no clue on this race. This year's 3 year olds have killed me at the windows. I wont bet a dime on this race, hope WLA smokes em all again.

Prado is riding incredible right now. Hes amazing to watch when like this. The way he handled Naughty NY'er was pretty awesome.

That was hardly a great ride on Naughty New Yorker. He was six-wide around the first-turn and then three-wide around the far-turn. The horse was the best by about 10 lengths and he won the race by 4 lengths. He hardly won because of the ride.

My clocker said her work was fantastic. He said she looked great doing it and that her work at the distance was by far faster than anyone elses who worked at the distance. Shes sharp, so we will see I guess. I fear Adieu.
