Unbeaten Lightstream (Harlan's Holiday), a perfect two-for-two after capturing Keeneland's GIII Adena Springs Beaumont S. Apr. 17, may be aimed at Belmont's GI Acorn S. June 11.
“She's doing very well,” trainer Brian Lynch said of the Up Hill Stable and Head of Plains Partners LLC colorbearer. “The Acorn always has been on our radar. Now if Songbird (Medaglia d'Oro) comes east, we will try to avoid her. We will get some wind back in her sails, nominate to a few spots and line up something.”
Meanwhile, Jim and Susan Hill's 2015 GI Shadwell Turf Mile winner Grand Arch (Arch) is scheduled to work on the grass Sunday as he nears a return to competition.
“We will get a better feel for where we are after Sunday,” Lynch said of Grand Arch, who could make his 2016 debut in the GI Woodford Reserve Classic at Churchill Downs May 7. “Then he would have one more grass work here the Sunday after.”
Grand Arch closed his 2015 campaign with a third-place finish behind Tepin (Bernstein) in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile.
