Stacelita breezes for Flower Bowl; Zagora could attempt

Spinster

"We'll take it one race at a time, but when Mr. Schwartz hired me he had

three specific races in mind," Brown said. "We won the first one, so we have two

more to go."

Brown has yet to make a decision on the next start for Schwartz's Diana S.

(G1) winner ZAGORA (Fr) (Green Tune), who last Sunday was seventh as the

favorite in the Canadian S. (Can-G2) at Woodbine.

"(Jockey Javier Castellano) just felt she didn't handle a one-turn race,"

Brown said. "He just never felt comfortable under her. We'll just kind of

regroup with her and draw a line through it. It's fairly uncharacteristic of her

to run that way."

One race under consideration for Zagora is the Spinster S. (G1) on October 9

at Keeneland.

"It's back in 22 days; I just don't feel she ran much in the last race,"

Brown said. "I want to take a look at it, and if I don't do that I may just

regroup and focus on next year with her. I think she'll have a big year next

year. We'll see how she's doing all week and see where her energy level is at."

Brown said both Ken and Sarah Ramsey's BIG BLUE KITTEN (Kitten's Joy) and

Gary and Mary West's CASINO HOST (Dynaformer) are under consideration for the

Jamaica (G1), a 1 1/8-mile turf race to be held at Belmont October 8.

On Sunday, National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame S. (G2) winner Big Blue

Kitten breezed five furlongs on the firm Oklahoma training turf at Saratoga in

1:02.40, while Grade 2-placed Casino Host, exiting a fifth in the Secretariat S.

(G1) on August 13 at Arlington, went four furlongs on Belmont's fast training

track in :48.23.

Also on Sunday's Saratoga worktab was Dell Ridge Farm's sharp debut winner

FANTASTIC SONG (Lemon Drop Kid), who turned in a 1:01.40 five-furlong breeze on

the turf. Brown said that the two-year-old was "doing great" and confirmed his

status as a contender for next Sunday's Pilgrim S. (G3) at 1 1/16 miles on the

grass.
