Trainer Tom Albertrani said Godolphin's Spycraft could target the Grade 3, $150,000 Nashua on November 3 at Aqueduct, following an impressive first-out maiden victory on Saturday at Belmont Park.
The bay son of Discreet Cat was hustled out of the gate by jockey Jose Lezcano and fended off his competition scoring by 3 ½ lengths.
"It would be a consideration if there's nothing before then, but timing wise it looks like a race that we would consider targeting for sure," Albertrani said. "He was pretty impressive. The horse always showed that he had quite a bit of talent even before he ran.
"I'm glad we were able to see the same performance in the afternoon that he's shown us in the morning It was impressive and hopefully he'll stretch out a little bit, too. It's always challenging going further in distance, so we'll see how far he'll go."
Albertrani and Godolphin teamed up in 2016 to win the Nashua with Hemsworth.
A Kentucky homebred, Spycraft is the third offspring out of the Bernardini broodmare Sugarcraft whose dam was multiple Grade 1 winner Sugar Shake. All three of her progeny are winners.
