Mind Your Biscuits is expected to breeze Friday and remains a possibility for the Grade 1, $600,000 Forego on August 26, trainer Chad Summers said Wednesday morning.
Mind Your Biscuits has been training at Saratoga since July and will have his third work since winning the Grade 2 Belmont Sprint Championship on July 8, when he posted a 3 ½-length score over Awesome Slew in the seven-furlong sprint on Belmont Park's Big Sandy.
Following the work, Summers said he'll see if he still wants to enter him in the Forego, while also leaving open the possibility of the Grade 2 Pat O'Brien on August 26 at Del Mar.
"We'll see the weather reports and see how [regular jockey] Joel Rosario is feeling," Summers said about the breezing schedule. "We'll see then if it's the Forego or the Pat O'Brien, or maybe even skip both."
The New York-bred Mind Your Biscuits is 6-6-2 in 16 career starts, including a graded stakes win at the Spa in last year's Grade 2 Amsterdam before earning the first victory of his 4-year-old campaign in the Group 1 Dubai Golden Shaheen onMarch 25.
Chanel's Legacy is targeting the Grade 2, $250,000 Prioress on the Saratoga meet's penultimate day, September 3. Summers said the 3-year-old Dominus filly ran better than her eighth-place finish in the Grade 1 Test on August 5 would indicate, and also noted that the four top finishers from that race - American Gal, Faypien, Tequillita and Chalon - are not likely to run in the Prioress.
"I thought she ran deceivingly good, she was only fifth lengths from second," Summers said. "I have a feeling the top-four horses probably won't come back, so we'll see how the race comes up. We obviously want to get her some black type, but I think she'll improve off that race."
Chanel's Legacy has already made eight starts this year, posting wins in the Trapeze, Dixie Bell and Panthers while finishing in the money in a graded stakes start for the first time with a runner-up finish to Ever So Clever in the Grade 3 Fantasy on April 14 at Oaklawn Park.
Paquita Coqueta is working towards the $100,000 Smart N Fancy at 5 ½ furlongs on the turf on August 27, Summers said.
Bred in Chile, the 6-year-old Scat Daddy mare finished fifth in her Saratoga debut in the Caress on July 24. Since arriving in North America, Paquita Coqueta is 2-2-1 in eight starts.
"I expect an improved effort from her," Summers said. "She showed that she liked this track a little bit. She's eligible for a few things, so we'll poke around and see what else is out there. She's going to be bred to California Chrome next year, so we're trying to get some more black type for her before she [ends her racing career]."
