McLaughlin plots course for It's Tricky, Alpha

Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin reported that Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic runner-up It's Tricky is galloping daily at Palm Meadows and could run once and perhaps even twice during the current Gulfstream Park meet.

“It’s a long year, and I’m not sure what we’ll do with her yet, although the Rampart at the end of March is possible, with a prep in late February in the Sabin a potential stepping-stone to that race,” said McLaughlin.

The Grade 3 Rampart will be run on the Florida Derby undercard on March 31.

McLaughlin will also have two other Breeders’ Cup starters, Alpha and Rattlesnake Bridge, on hand here this winter.
