DEL MAR, Calif. - Fiftyshadesofhay, winner of the Grade 3 Iowa Oaks and Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes in her last two starts, will step up and take on the elite of the 3-year-old filly division in the Grade 1 Alabama Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 17 following an impressive workout at Del Mar on Tuesday morning, trainer Bob Baffert said.
Fiftyshadesofhay worked in company with the older Book Review, and though both received a clocking of 1:12.80 for six furlongs, Fiftyshadesofhay appeared to be going the easier of the two under jockey Martin Garcia, and she galloped out strongly, a mile in 1:37 and change on Baffert’s watch.
“She’s going to the Alabama,” Baffert said. “I had to see something like that today.”
