Full Field Will Gather in Waya

Led by the Graham Motion-trained pair of Inimitable Romanee and Concise, a full field of fillies and mares will gather Sunday for the $100,000 Fasig-Tipton Waya at 1 ½ miles on the turf.

Concise, who carries the colors of Andrew Stone, made her first stateside appearances last summer at the Spa when she was second in an optional claimer and fourth in the Grade 2 Lake Placid. In five subsequent starts, she has been off the board only once, and enters the Waya having been moved up to second via disqualification in the Grade 3 Robert G. Dick Memorial at Delaware Park.

Like her stablemate, Inimitable Romanee began her career in Europe, where she won one of three starts. Sent to the United States in 2012, she found considerable success facing New York-breds, where she was first, second or third in all but one of 13 starts.

She closed out her 5-year-old campaign with a front-running win in her first graded stakes start, the Grade 3 Long Island Handicap at the Waya distance, and has notched two additional graded stakes wins this year, taking the Grade 3 The Very One at Gulfstream Park and the Grade 3 Bewitch at Keeneland Race Course.

Luis Saez will be aboard Concise, 4-1, as she leaves from post position 1, while Alan Garcia has the mount aboard Inimitable Romanee, 9-2 on the morning line with post position 8.

Third choice at 5-1 on the morning line is the Irish-bred Gulsary, who has been stakes-placed three times since arriving in trainer Tom Proctor's barn last summer. The 5-year-old Galileo mare is coming off two second-place finishes, missing by a neck in the Grade 3 Modesty Handicap on July 12 at Arlington Park and by a head in the Keertana on May 17 at Churchill Downs.

Jose Lezcano rides Gulsary from post position 12.

Also expected to attract support are English Class, who only missed by a neck when fourth last time out in the Dance Smartly at Woodbine under Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez, and the Brazilian mare Viva Rafaela, most recently third in the Grade 2 New York on June 28 at Belmont Park.

Rounding out the field are Always Kitten, Angel Terrace, Angegreen, Tabreed, Levanto, Fitful Skies, and Praia.

Cat's Claw, Cushion and Auld Alliance are also eligible, and Lady Cohiba was entered Main Track Only.
