Next race being determined for Kentucky Utilities Transylvania Winner Scarlett Sky

Stuart Janney III’s homebred Scarlett Sky exited his Friday victory in the $150,000 Kentucky Utilities Transylvania (G3) in good order, according to Lindsay Schultz, assistant to trainer Shug McGaughey.

“He is super this morning,” Schultz said. “He ate up everything last night.”

Plans are to be determined for Scarlett Sky with one possibility being the $500,000 American Turf (G2) at Churchill Downs on May 1.

That race is on the agenda for John C. Oxley’s Palazzi and Three Diamonds Farm’s Fire At Will, the respective second- and third-place finishers in the Kentucky Utilities Transylvania.

Trainer Mark Casse confirmed Saturday morning that Palazzi would point to the American Turf following his runner-up effort in his graded stakes debut. Palazzi returned to Churchill Friday night to rejoin Casse’s main string in Louisville.

Following the Kentucky Utilities Transylvania, trainer Mike Maker indicated the American Turf also might be next for Fire At Will, winner of last fall’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1). Fire At Will returned to Maker’s main base at Trackside Training Center in Louisville Saturday morning.
