Sunset Glow Headlines Edgewood

Ten Broeck Farm’s Sunset Glow, runner-up in last fall’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (GI), heads a field of eight 3-year-old fillies for the 30th running of the $150,000 Edgewood Presented by Forcht Bank (GIII).

The 1 1/16-mile grass race will go as the sixth race on the program with a 1:26 p.m. post time.

Trained by Wesley Ward, Sunset Glow returned to the races on April 12 and finished third in the Appalachian Stakes (GIII) at Keeneland. Joel Rosario returns to ride and will break from post position three.

Figuring to attract support is Destiny Oaks of Ocala, Wachtel Stable and Brous Stable’s Quality Rocks, winner of the Florida Oaks (GIII) at Tampa Bay Downs on March 7 in her most recent start.

Trained by seven-time Edgewood winner Bill Mott, Quality Rocks has compiled a 6-3-2-0 record with her only off-the-board finish coming in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Fillies (GI) in which she was 10th.  Jose Lezcano has the mount and will break from post position one.

The field for the Edgewood with jockeys and weights from the hedge out is: Quality Rocks (Lezcano, 123), B Rockett (Jon Court, 118), Sunset Glow (Rosario, 118), My Year Is a Day (FR) (John Velazquez, 118), Lady Zuzu (Luis Saez, 118), Feathered (Javier Castellano, 118), Flying Tipat (Robby Albarado, 118) and Sweet Swingin (Corey Lanerie, 118).
