Colebrook Farms’ Simply in Front exited her neck victory in Saturday’s $800,000 First Lady (G1) in good order, and the logical question for trainer Eddie Kenneally is what’s next.
“We are looking at Del Mar. It might be the Goldikova (G3) or the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1),” Kenneally said Wednesday morning. “The Goldikova would be the most logical spot.”
The $2 million FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile would involve facing the boys. The $300,000 Goldikova is for fillies and mares. Both races are Nov. 1.
A winner of six races — including three graded stakes — in 16 starts, the 4-year-old Kentucky-bred daughter of Summer Front increased her earnings to more than $2.8 million with the victory Saturday.
“She likes Kentucky Downs,” said Kenneally of Simply in Front, who has banked more than half of her earnings with a win and a second in two lucrative stakes there. “And evidently she likes it here, too.”
Kenneally said Simply in Front would get a winter break in Ocala with plans to come back and race next year at age 5.
