Allen Stable's homebred War Flag came out her third-place finish in the Grade 3, $200,000 Glens Falls in good order, Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey said Sunday.
The 4-year-old War Front filly was sent off as the 5-2 favorite but was last of nine at the half-mile mark. War Flag rallied in the stretch, going four-wide to earn a piece of the purse.
"I thought she ran fine behind a slow pace and closed OK," McGaughey said. "She's at Belmont now."
War Flag doesn't have any definitive plans for her next spot, said McGaughey, who added that he will return to Belmont on Monday.
The ultra-consistent War Flag has never finished out of the money in eight starts, going 4-3-1, including 1-1-1 in three North American starts after running her first five races exclusively in France. She made her stakes debut with a runner-up effort in the Grade 3 Matchmaker on July 30 at Monmouth Park.
