Following the 9¾-length victory by Whitham Thoroughbreds’ Burnham Square in Saturday’s VisitLEX Elkhorn (G2), trainer Ian Wilkes said the plan going forward would be to work backward from the Oct. 31 Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) at Keeneland.

“A possible option would be the ($250,000) Louisville (G3),” Wilkes said Sunday morning of the 1½-mile race at Churchill Downs on May 16.

Burnham Square returned to the Skylight Training Center in Goshen, Kentucky after the Keeneland race. Prior to the VisitLEX Elkhorn, he had put in three works over the all-weather surface at Skylight.

Stonelea Stable and Bonnie Rye Stable’s Desvio, who closed from far back to get second in the VisitLEX Elkhorn, left Keeneland at 8 a.m. Sunday with trainer Madison Meyers riding shotgun for the eight-hour van ride to Middleburg, Virginia.

“We plan to be in Kentucky some more this year,” Meyers said. “We’ll see how he comes out of this race, but the Louisville is on our radar.”

A return trip to Keeneland in the fall could be in the cards for Desvio, who won the Sycamore (G2) last October to give Meyers her first graded stakes victory.

“That would be a goal,” Meyers said of the race scheduled for Oct. 9.
