Casse-trained juveniles likely headed for KY Jockey Club off one-two finish

After John Oxley's two-year-old coupled entry of Sky Hero and Flashaway ran first and second in a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming

event at Churchill Downs on Saturday, trainer Mark Casse's assistant and son

Norman Casse weighed in on their performances and hinted where they may show up

next.

"There were a few question marks with both of them," Casse

said. "We weren't exactly sure how far Sky Hero wanted to go. We knew he was

fast but he definitely proved he could go and handle that distance. On the other

hand, we were really high on Skyway but sometimes it takes a race for these

two-year-olds to get used to the dirt after running on Polytrack.

"We were really happy with the way they both ran and think they can both move

forward significantly after that race. I think they will both probably be

pointed to the Kentucky Jockey Club."

Also run at 1 1/16 miles, the Grade 2, $200,000 Kentucky Jockey Club is the co-featured event with the

Grade 2, $200,000 Golden Rod for two-year-old fillies on Stars of Tomorrow II Day,

November 29.

The Casses teamed up with Oxley to take the 2013 edition of

the Kentucky Jockey Club with Uncaptured.
