Sunland Derby, Oaks canceled; Shagaf doing well after

Gotham win

Sunland Park has called off both the Sunland Derby (G3) and Sunland Oaks,

each worth 50 points to the respective winners as part of the Road to the

Kentucky Derby and Oaks series. Sunland has been under quarantine since cases of

EHV-1 were diagnosed in January and, though the quarantine is expected to be

lifted March 9, trainer with Derby and Oaks aspirations have probably begun

looking elsewhere for prep/points races.

Undefeated Shagaf, winner of Saturday's Gotham (G3) at Aqueduct, exited that

race in good order, trainer Chad Brown said Sunday. The next target for the

Bernardini colt is the $1 million Wood Memorial (G1) on April 9 back at

Aqueduct.
