Blowout aims to break out in Keeneland's Valley View Stakes

Peter Brant’s Blowout (GB), who spent most of the summer chasing stablemate Regal Glory in graded stakes tests at Saratoga, headlines a field of 14 3-year-old fillies and one also-eligible entered Sunday for next Friday’s 29th running of the Grade 3, $150,000 Pin Oak Valley View to be run at 1 1/16 miles on the turf.

The Pin Oak Valley View will go as the ninth race on Friday’s 10-race program with a 5:30 p.m. ET post time. First post Friday is 1:05 p.m.

Trained by Chad Brown, Blowout finished a half-length behind Regal Glory in the Lake George (G3) and a neck back in the Lake Placid (G2) before posting a front-running 2¼-length victory in the Pebbles on Sept. 14 in her most recent start.

John Velazquez has the mount and will break from post position two.

Brown, who has won two Grade 1 stakes at this meet, has two other runners in the race: stakes winners Catch a Bid, owned by Klaravich Stables and Martin Schwartz’s Turf War. Irad Ortiz Jr. has the mount on Catch a Bid and will break from post position seven, while Turf War exits post position 10 with Joel Rosario aboard.
