Tobys Heart "Ready to Roll" in TVG Limestone Turf Sprint

April 9, 2021

One of the flashiest 2-year-olds to debut in 2020 was Tobys Heart, who won at first asking over the turf at Churchill Downs by 6¾ lengths in June and 2½ months later cruised to victory as the 1-2 favorite in the Bolton Landing (L) at Saratoga.

After being sidelined for a fall campaign, Tobys Heart returned to the work tab in late December at Palm Meadows Training Center in Florida. She returned to the races Feb. 27 and finished sixth going 1 1/16 miles in the Herecomesthebride (G3) at Gulfstream Park.

“We wanted to get a race into her before we left Florida, and we had limited options,” Lynch said. “It was a nice fit and she is ready to roll this time.”

Javier Castellano has the mount Friday.
