Laobanonaprayer winning the Fifth Avenue division of the New York Stallion Series Stakes
Laobanonaprayer, owned and trained by Danny Velazquez, will cut back in distance for the $200,000 Park Avenue division of the New York Stallion Stakes Series, a 6 1/2-furlong sprint for eligible New York-sired sophomore fillies on Sunday at Aqueduct Racetrack.
The Laoban bay finished fourth last out to undefeated Kentucky Oaks-contender Search Results in the open Busher Invitational traveling a one-turn mile on March 6 at Aqueduct.
Laobanonaprayer worked a bullet half-mile handily in 46.62 Saturday on the Parx main track in preparation for the turnback in distance.
“It was an amazing work. This is the best I ve ever seen her,” said Velazquez. “She s coming in really ready. These horses grow with you as they progress. She s a big filly and I m hoping she s going to get faster and really come around.”
