Singlet gets pointed for the Grade 3 Comely Stakes on 7th April
The three-year-old filly Singlet is being pointed for the Grade 3 $250,000 Comely Stakes on 7th April. Trained by Tony Dutrow, the Real Quiet colt out of mare Taylor’s Choice, has already raced twice through the new season and is unbeaten till
yet.
She has been successful in three out of her four career starts. Her attempts till now have been focused on six furlongs or less.
“I can’t say that’s definitely going to be her next race, but yes, it certainly could be, we’re strongly considering it.”
Singlet was through her maiden stakes on 5th August 2011 which was raced over five and a half furlongs at Saratoga. On 24th September, she was second in the NATC Futurity Stakes which was staged over six furlongs. The race was won by
My Due Process while the third to finish after the winner was Fiftyfour Forever.
Singlet under the ownership of Larry N. Brafman, Michael Dubb and Daniel M. Ryan ran her next two races over the same distance. On 5th January she won the Xtra Heat Stakes at Aqueduct while riding with R. Dominguez. Singlet covered the distance
in a minute and :11.73 seconds.
Union Victory was the runner up for the race while Torchme turned out to finish the race third.
Her most recent race was on 11th February, again at Aqueduct and again over the same distance, the Dearly Precious Stakes. This time riding with C. Velasquez, she won the race in a minute and :11.62 seconds while being allotted the Beyer Speed
Figure of 86.
“I didn’t get the feeling she was all out,” Dutrow said. “I’m not saying she did it easy, I just don’t think he got to the bottom of her.”
The plans for racing Singlet for the Grade 3, $150,000 Cicada Stakes on 10th March over six furlongs has been subsided and testing her for the Grade 3 Comely Stakes is under serious scrutiny. The Grade 3 Comely Stakes will be a jump for the three-year-old
in terms of distance which has now notched up to a mile from the six furlongs that she was racing over before.
The race would be the third time that Singlet will race during the new season and in case she is successful in winning it, she will strike her first hat trick.
