Down on Da Bayou (Super Saver) looks to follow up her devastating 19-length victory in the Feb. 20 G3 UAE Oaks with a victory over the boys in the Samba Saudi Derby at King Abdulaziz Racetrack Saturday. The bay filly will be making her sixth lifetime start in the 1600-meter race, but her first away from Meydan.
Billy Batts (City Zip), second in last year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, will be trying the dirt for the first time. The Peter Miller trainee, previously owned by Rockingham Ranch, will be making his first start for Sharaf Mohammed Al Zahrani. He captured the Feb. 7 Baffle S. at Santa Anita in his most recent trip to the post.
L and N Racing's three-time stakes winner Rowdy Yates (Morning Line) lines up for trainer Steve Asmussen. The dark bay, second in last year's GIII Bashford Manor S., is coming off a 3 1/2-length victory in the Riley Allison Derby at Sunland Park.
