Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said Godolphin Racing's Antipathy exited her win in the Grade 3 Shuvee Handicap on Sunday in good shape and confirmed that the 4-year-old could make her next start in the Grade 1, $500,000 Personal Ensign at 1 1/8 miles on August 22.

 

The Shuvee was the first graded stakes win for Antipathy, who entered the race eligible for the second allowance condition. In her only other stakes try, she was third, beaten a neck, in a deep renewal of the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps on June 7 at Belmont Park.

 

Antipathy is by A.P. Indy and a half-sister to Grade 1 Champagne and Grade 1 Florida Derby winner Scat Daddy.

 

"She has continued to train well and improve," McLaughlin said of Antipathy's recent development. "She's a beautiful filly, so it's great to get the graded stakes win and a Grade 1 [placing] behind her."

 

McLaughlin added that Cavorting, a Stonestreet Stables filly who debuted an 11-length winner on July 3, is on target for the Grade 2 Adirondack, a 6 ½-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies on August 10.
