Flying Dutchmen Breeding and Racing’s Slay the Day has found a home sprinting on the grass with the validation coming Friday in her victory in the FanDuel Limestone (G3).

“Credit to Hunter Rankin,” trainer Brian Lynch said of part of the ownership group. “He always thought sprinting on the grass would be her game and she really stepped up.”

Slay the Day had made her first three starts on the dirt before moving to the turf.

“She drew off by 4 lengths going 5 furlongs and that is hard to do,” Lynch said of the initial grass foray.

Next for Slay the Day could be the $300,000 Mamzelle (G3) Presented by Kentucky Proud on April 30 at Churchill Downs.

“She didn’t turn a hair after the race and it makes you think if one could come back in three weeks, it might be her,” Lynch said.

Three Diamonds Farm’s Sapphire Beach (IRE), runner-up to Slay the Day, will bypass the Mamzelle, according to trainer Rusty Arnold.

“She came out of the race fine, but no Mamzelle,” Arnold said. “It will probably be five or six weeks before we run her back.”

Medallion Racing, Swinbank Stables, Joey Platts and Mark Stanton’s Cy Fair, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1), finished third beaten a length in her 2026 debut for trainer George Weaver.

“She caught a hot pace in her first start back but only got beat a length,” said Blair Golen, assistant to Weaver. “There are a lot of options. We’ll look at the numbers and go from there.”
