Wesley Ward trainee Lady Aurelia (Scat Daddy), a champion in England and France in 2016 and a winner of the G2 Queen Mary S. at the Royal Meeting, turned in her second work at Keeneland in advance of an intended start in Royal Ascot's G1 King Stand S. on June 20. The Stonestreet Stables, George Bolton and Peter Leidel silksbearer clocked five furlongs in 1:02.20 (1/2) working in partnership with June 23 G1 Commonwealth Cup hopeful Bound for Nowhere (The Factor), who went in 1:02.60 (2/2).
“She had a really, really nice breeze–very excited,” Ward said about the 'TDN Rising Star'. “We're just trying to go as easy as possible every work into the race. She already has the speed, the win, the fitness and the confidence. Just looking to keep her–until the day we leave on [June 6]–nice and steady. She's doing everything beautiful.”
Lady Aurelia, who also captured the G1 Darley Prix Morny last year and the Listed Giant's Causeway S. at Keeneland Apr. 15, would have two more works before traveling to England.
