Trainer Bob McIntosh has spoken with the Woodbine Entertainment Group's publicity department regarding the two fillies he will be sending forth
to the Eternal Camnation Stakes, a trio of $120,437 dashes for juvenile pacing lasses which will be contested Saturday night at Mohawk Racetrack.
You See L A, a daughter of The Panderosa, has drawn Post 4 in the final Eternal Camnation split. No Pan Intended filly Panagler has drawn Post 2 in the second division.
“[You See L A is] a nice big strong filly and she’s been improving every start,” McIntosh said about the filly, which impressed when it captured the final of the Whenuwishuponastar Pacing Series at Mohawk at the end of July. “Her mother, Los Angeles, was a very nice two-year-old, but had some respiratory trouble at three. She’s given me West Of L A, who’s much smaller but a game filly; she’s earned $162,000 so far.”
Panagler, a flashy grey, is perfect in two starts, though this will be its first foray into stakes company. “She’s very, very fast,” said McIntosh. “Her family is kind of high-strung and she’s a little temperamental, so we have to let everything seem like her idea.
“Both fillies have been racing well within themselves so far and I feel good about them. We haven’t been to the bottom of the well by any means. At this point, I’m 99% sure both will go on to the Shes A Great Lady.”
Steve Condren has been tapped to drive both You See L A and Panagler, which have been rated at 5-2 and 8-5 in their respective splits.
The Eternal Camnation splits have been carded as Races 1, 3 and 6 on Mohawk's Saturday program.
