After breaking her maiden Sunday in her second start, trainer Eddie Kenneally said that Joseph Sutton’s Zeven could make her next start in the $200,000-added Golden Rod (GII) at Churchill Downs on Saturday, Nov. 29.
 
The 2-year-old filly by Lookin at Lucky won by a length over Get Set Go going seven furlongs in 1:25.38, and Kenneally is hoping Zeven will be fit to stretch out in her next start.
 
“I’m hoping she can go a little longer,” Kenneally said. “Of course there are a lot more options for us if she can stretch out. You never know how she’ll be going longer until you try. But she’ll be nominated to the Golden Rod and we’ll see how things play out. It will just depend on how she trains between now and then and who else is in there, but it’s certainly a possibility.”
 
Nominations for the Golden Rod close Wednesday, Nov. 12. Kenneally would be seeking his first Golden Rod victory should he enter Zeven in the 1 1/16-mile dirt contest.
