Cash is King's Cathryn Sophia (Street Boss), tabbed a “TDN Rising Star” after her 16 1/4-length victory in the Dec. 5 Gin Talking S., will skip an expected start in Saturday's GIII Old Hat S. at Gulfstream. Trainer John Servis has opted to point the newly turned sophomore to the Jan. 30 seven-furlong GII Forward Gal S.
“I wouldn't say she strictly looks like a sprinter, but she's not a big, two turn-looking horse either,” Servis explained. “One of the reasons I wasn't crazy about shortening her up for the Old Hat, I wanted to come right back with the seven-eighths, and if she runs real well in there, hopefully, she'll be able to come back for the [one-mile GII Feb. 27] Davona Dale and give her a little distance and see how she handles it.”
Cathryn Sophia graduated with a 12 3/4-length debut victory going six furlongs at Parx Oct. 30 before her romp in the seven-furlong Gin Talking S.
