Wondrwherecraigis seeks first stakes triumph in $120K Tale of the Cat
At 0h50, on August 12, 2021 • By SARATOGA
Four-time winner Wondrwherecraigis will attempt to secure his first career stakes score in Friday’s eighth running of the $120,000 Tale of the Cat at Saratoga Race Course.
Trained by Brittany Russell, Wondrwherecraigis enters the six-furlong sprint for 4-year-olds and up who have not won a graded race in 2021 from a 5 3/4-length optional claiming score on July 18 at Pimlico.
The 4-year-old dark bay or brown son of Munnings, who garnered a 102 Beyer Sped Figure in his most recent effort, returns to stakes company on the NYRA circuit after being disqualified from second to third in the Gold Fever in July 2020 at Belmont Park ahead of finishing fourth behind three next-out winners in the Grade 2 Amsterdam last August at Saratoga.
Wondrwherecraigis is owned by Michael Dubb, Madaket Stables, The Elkstone Group, and Bethlehem Stables.
“It was a big race. He’s doing really well,” said Russell. “We figured we would take a look. It looks like the race will set up for him, so we’re shipping him up and giving him a chance.”
Jockey Sheldon Russell will ride from post 5.
