Coasted will next point to Miss Grillo

Earning her first stakes win in just her third career start in the P.G. Johnson stakes on September 1 at Saratoga, trainer Leah Gyarmati reported that juvenile filly Coasted will next point to the Grade 3, $200,000 Miss Grillo on October 2.

Gyarmati has been impressed with the Tizway filly's continued development for Treadway Racing Stable.

"She's doing great and came out of that race good," said Gyarmati. "She's training away like she did before so we're excited to see how she comes back and runs again against graded stakes competition."

Wonder Gal, who returned off a nearly seven-month layoff to win an allowance race on September 2 will once again try graded stakes competition in the Grade 2, $300,000 Gallant Bloom on October 1, Gyarmati said.

A 4-year-old New York-bred daughter of Tiz Wonderful, Wonder Gal has notched two stakes victories against state-breds but has come up winless against graded company, where she boasts two seconds and four thirds from nine starts.

"She ran huge in her last race," said Gyarmati. "That was really the race I wanted to come back in and it worked out well. Obviously, she's held her own against New York-breds. Due to a series of issues and tough trips she hasn't maintained that top level in graded stakes company and she's run against some great fillies, so we'll give a try one more time and see how it goes."

Lastly, Gyarmati reported that 3-year-old Adventist, who was briefly on the Kentucky Derby trail earlier this year and finished seventh in the Grade 2 West Virginia Derby at Mountaineer Racetrack in August, is on pace to resume training after recovering from a lung infection the Any Given Saturday colt contracted over the summer.

"We're not sure what we're going to do with him yet, but he's doing okay," added Gyarmati. "He caught a little virus at the tail end of Saratoga and we're just getting back to starting training him again."
