Bank Audit will be looking to keep her two-race win streak in tact when she takes the gate for Saturday's $150,000 Bed o' Roses Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. III) at Aqueduct.
The 4-year-old Virginia-bred filly will stretch out to a mile for the Bed o' Roses following back-to-back wins, going six and seven furlongs, respectively, in a March 9 allowance optional claiming contest and a length score in the March 26 Distaff Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. II).
A daughter of Wild Rush, Bank Audit is conditioned by Frank LaBocetta Jr., for Robert Amendola.
In addition to winning the Distaff, Bank Audit began the year with a five-length win in the six-furlong Interborough Handicap and was second in the six-furlong Correction Handicap. Both races were at Aqueduct.
Jockey Richard Migliore gets the mount aboard Bank Audit carrying a top weight of 119 pounds.
Providing a tough challenge to Bank Audit will be Cativa, who seeks to return to her winning form after finishing a dull fifth in the Distaff Breeders' Cup Handicap.
