I've Got the Fever, a son of Stephen Got Even, won a one-mile maiden race by 2 3/4 lengths at Aqueduct on Feb. 20, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 90. Though it would mean racing back in two weeks, I've Got the Fever could possibly start in the Grade 3, $250,000 Gotham Stakes here March 6.
Equipped with blinkers for the first time, I've Got the Fever went gate to wire on a speed-favoring inner track
Though it took him five tries to win a maiden race, I've Got the Fever had been facing some of the better 3-year-olds around, including subsequent stakes winners.
Michael Iavarone, said earlier this week that he would pay the $6,000 to make I've Got the Fever a late nominee to the Triple Crown series. Iavarone mentioned the Illinois Derby on April 3 as a possible target for the 3-year-old.
Terranova's other top 3-year-old, Citrus Kid, had an undescended testicle removed following his seventh-place finish in the LeComte on Jan. 23. Terranova said that issue, plus the fact that the horse appeared to get upset in the paddock prior to the LeComte, may have contributed to the poor performance.
Meanwhile, Terranova's top 3-year-old filly, Negligee, has been breezing regularly at Palm Meadows in south Florida and is likely headed to the Grade 1 Ashland on April 3. Negligee won the Alcibiades at Keeneland last fall. Terranova said Negligee could possibly run in the Herecomesthebride at Gulfstream on March 6 as a prep.
Terranova said he will likely point Franny Freud, his multiple-stakes winning New York-bred sprinting filly, to the $150,000 Beaumont on April 7 at Keeneland.
Next Saturday, Terranova is set to run his top-flight sprinter Wall Street Wonder in the Grade 3, $100,000 Toboggan Stakes here. Wall Street Wonder won the Paumonok here Jan. 23.
Rightly So, a winner of five consecutive races, is scheduled to make her 4-year-old debut in Sunday's $65,000 Broadway Stakes for New York-bred fillies and mares at six furlongs.
After finishing second in her debut, Rightly So won two races over the inner track during the winter before coming back off a layoff in the fall to win three straight, including the Iroquois Stakes against older females on New York Showcase Day. Her last race came in the Luv Is Eternal Stakes, a race she won by a length on Nov. 19.
Rightly So is trained by Tony Dutrow. His brother Rick may have the main threat in Buy the Light, who cuts back to her preferred distance after finishing third in the Darlin Momma Stakes at a mile and 70 yards.
Messe Rocks, who has beaten New York-breds three consecutive times and has won four of five overall, What a Pear, Lights off Annie, Not a Peep, Sapphire Sky, and Sorority Sister complete the field.
* Hold That Prospect ($3.10) jumped out to a lengthy early advantage and then held off Ocarson by a half-length in the stretch to win Thursday's $60,000 Mommy Dear Stakes. It was one of three wins on the card for Chavez.
It was the second straight stakes victory for Hold That Prospect, who was coming off a 7 1/2-length victory in the Correction Stakes on Jan. 30. Hold That Prospect, owned by Funky Munky Stable and trained by Gary Gullo, ran six furlongs in 1:12.20.
