At 11h58, on October 6, 2023 • By RED MILE
Trainer Noel Daley’s 2-year-olds have been off to a flying start through the first half of the 2023 season, and he comes into Saturday’s (Oct. 7) stakes action at the Red Mile with a pair looking to keep progressing off their success in his trotting filly Buy A Round and his pacing colt Captain Albano.
Buy A Round competes in the afternoon’s third race, the second division of four for the $348,000 International Stallion Stakes for 2-year-old trotting fillies. Andy McCarthy steers the 9-5 morning line choice after she catapulted off the speed to a 1:53.3 victory as the 3-5 choice in her Bluegrass division last week. The daughter of Walner lands post two against a group that includes Kentucky champion Date Night Hanover, New York champion Senorita Palema, and Pennsylvania champion Sierra Girl, among others.
Her stablemate – Captain Albano – competes in race four, the opening division of the $285,000 International Stallion Stakes for 2-year-old pacing colts and geldings. The son of Captaintreacherous goes as the 8-5 morning line choice after downing undefeated Newsroom in a 1:49.2 mile to win a Bluegrass division last week. Todd McCarthy pilots the Noel Daley trainee from post seven in a nine-horse contest.
Racing at the Red Mile gets underway at 1 p.m.
