Moon Colony (Uncle Mo) and Casa Creed (Jimmy Creed), one-two across the line in the GII Penn Mile S. June 1, lock horns again in Friday's GII National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame S. at Saratoga.
Moon Colony turns back to a mile after setting a pressured pace and tiring to ninth in the GI Belmont Derby Invitational S. going 1 1/4 miles July 6. “I think the cut back to a mile will be good for him,” trainer Mark Casse said. “He's already well proven at a mile, so I think that the Hall of Fame suits him quite nicely.”
Casa Creed, a narrow winner over subsequent Belmont Derby victor Henley's Joy (Kitten's Joy) in the Kitten's Joy S. earlier this term at Gulfstream, was a good third in the Manila S. downstate July 4.
Award Winner (Ghostzapper) got tagged late by a neck after showing the way in Delaware's GIII Kent S. July 6 going 1 1/8 miles.
