Cat's Pajamas (Street Sense) looks to score her third straight win as she steps up to black-type company Sunday in the GII Lake Placid S. at Saratoga. Off the board in her first two attempts on the main track for former trainer Bill Mott, the bay was transferred to Graham Motion, who switched her to the grass. Graduating in her turf bow at Churchill May 17, she captured an allowance on the lawn at Belmont June 14.
Lashara (GB) (American Pharoah) was the runner-up in that Belmont allowance and takes another crack at her foe here. Eighth when unveiled in a main track sprint at Gulfstream Mar. 15, she broke her maiden next out on that venue's turf course Apr. 11.
Speaktomeofsummer (Summer Front) hopes to make amends for a fourth-place finish in Belmont's GIII Wonder Again S. June 20. Graduating at second asking in her first try on turf at Monmouth Sept. 28, the $135,000 KEENOV buy captured Aqueduct's Chelsey Flower S. Nov. 3 and was making her seasonal bow last time in the Wonder Again.
