Gold Mover, Hennig Hope to Continue Successful Meet Gold Mover will be seeking to become the first three-times stakes winner at the meeting when she starts in Sunday's $100,000 Davona Dale Stakes (gr. II). Her trainer Mark Hennig will be after his sixth stakes win at the meeting when he saddles the filly in the 1 1/16 miles test for 3-year-olds.The chestnut lass won the six furlong Cadillacing Stakes on Jan. 11 then was a smashing victress of the seven furlong Forward Gal Stakes (gr. III) on Jan. 28. The Davona Dale Stakes will be the first time Gold Mover has run around two turns. "One thing about this track (Gulfstream) it's easy for a horse to stretch out and win going around two turns," Hennig said. "Jerry (jockey Jerry Bailey) said she's relaxing well so I'm not too concerned about her stretching out."Gold Mover won her first four races as a juvenile, including victories in the Kentucky Breeders' Cup (gr. III) and Debutante Stakes (gr. III) at Churchill Downs and the Schuylerville Stakes (gr. II) at Saratoga. She suffered her first defeat when second, beaten a neck, in the Astarita Stakes (gr. I) at Belmont Park. All those races were sprints.Hennig stretched her out to a mile in the Pocahontas Stakes at Churchill Downs on Nov. 3, her last start in 2000. She angled four wide in the stretch but lacked a closing punch and finished third. "She never made the lead in the Pocahontas," Hennig said. "There was a lot of speed in there and she got buried down on the inside. But she still ran a game race. I think she's a better horse now and I have confidence in her." Hennig had Gold Mover on the track for a half-mile workout on Sunday and the multiple stakes winner was clocked in :48 3/5 breezing. Hennig had one of his other top 3-year-old fillies, Raging Fever, on the track for a morning trial on Friday and the multiple stakes winner was clocked in 1:00 breezing for five furlongs. A four times stakes winner, including the Frizette Stakes (gr. I) and Matron Stakes (gr. I), Raging Fever hasn't started since tasting defeat for the first time when sixth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 4 at Churchill Downs. |
