Anita Cauley’s homebred local hero On Fire Baby is set to be the starting high weight in the 39th running of the $200,000-added Fleur De Lis presented by Etihad Airways (GII) for fillies and mares three and up, one of a trio stakes races that will share the “Downs After Dark” Saturday night spotlight with the Stephen Foster.
The winner of the $300,000-added La Troienne (GI) on Kentucky Oaks Day has been assigned 122 pounds as she seeks her fourth career stakes victory beneath the Twin Spires for veteran trainer Gary “Red Dog” Hartlage and jockey Joe Johnson.
On Fire Baby wrapped up her serious training for the Fleur De Lis on Saturday with a five-furlong breeze in 1:01.40 over a “fast’ surface at her home track.
Other expected contenders in the Fleur De Lis (with assigned weight) include Sixty Sails (GIII) and Locust Grove winner Flashy American (118), La Troienne runner-up Molly Morgan (116), La Canada (GII) third-place finisher Ondine (116) and 2013 Arlington Matron (GIII) runner-up Frivolous (114).
