Pletcher seeks sixth $100K Busanda conquest with Aniston, Gambling Girl

At 0h31, on January 12, 2023 • By AQUEDUCT

Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher will send out graded-stakes placed Gambling Girl and maiden winner Aniston in pursuit of his sixth score in Saturday’s $100,000 Busanda, a nine-furlong test for sophomore fillies at Aqueduct Racetrack.

The Busanda is a qualifying event for the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks on May 5 at Churchill Downs, offering 20-8-6-4-2 points to the top-five finishers. Pletcher captured the Busanda-Kentucky Oaks double in 2013 with King of Prussia Stable’s Princess of Sylmar, who upset subsequent Hall of Famer Beholder in that year’s Oaks by a half-length. Pletcher’s other Busanda scores came with Always Shopping [2019], Overprepared [2015], Fierce Boots [2014] and Dance Quietly [2011].
