Bishops Bay (Uncle Mo) will be back to defend his title in Saturday's GIII Salvator Mile S., one of four stakes races on Monmouth Park's 10-race Haskell Preview Day card.After bringing $1.3 million from advisor Pedro Lanz on behalf of the Saudi-based KAS Stables at last year's Keeneland November sale, the 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' was a game winner of the GII Cigar Mile H. Dec. 6 in his first start for his new connections. A respectable fourth in the G1 Saudi Cup Feb. 14, the Brad Cox-trained 6-year-old followed with a second-place finish as the 4-5 favorite in the GIII Westchester S. May 3.“We're looking to get him back in the win column,” said Blake Cox, who serves as an assistant to his dad, Brad Cox. “He looks to us like he is as good as he was last year. We're really trying to get him going again and this looked like a good spot to get started on that.”The 9-5 morning-line favorite will face 2024 GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity winner and 'Rising Star' East Avenue (Medaglia d'Oro) and GIII Ghostzapper S. winner Grande (Curlin). The duo finished fourth and sixth in the GII Alysheba S. at Churchill Downs May 1, respectively.The Monmouth Park program also includes the GIII Eatontown S., headed by the race's 2025 winner and 8-5 morning-line favorite Whiskey Decision (Into Mischief); the NYRA Bets Pegasus S., the final local prep for the GI NYRA Bets Haskell S. July 18; and the grassy Monmouth S.After winning last year's Pegasus with Bracket Buster (Vekoma), BBN Racing will look to put them back to back with the rail-drawn National Charter (Constitution), an impressive maiden winner going a one-turn mile at second asking for Rusty Arnold at Churchill Downs May 23.“We really like this horse,” BBN Racing's Bo Bromagen said. “He took a little while to come around, but he's always shown a lot of talent and ability. Very excited to see what he can do stepping up against stakes company. There are some nice horses in the race, but we think we fit well. He's coming back pretty quick since his last race, but he came out of it very strongly. Hopefully, we can repeat Bracket Buster's performance last year and win back to back in the Pegasus.”The field of six is headed by 8-5 morning-line favorite Schoolyardsuperman (Practical Joke), a big-figure runner-up for Chad Brown in an optional claimer at the Big A Mar. 29.Sophomore fillies, meanwhile, will be in the spotlight in Saturday's GIII Delaware Oaks, GIII Summertime Oaks at Santa Anita and Monomoy Girl S. at Churchill Downs.After placing in five straight stakes, including a runner-up effort in the GII Eight Belles S. May 1, Luv Your Neighbor (Constitution) will look to break through in the Delaware Oaks.The Bob Baffert-trained Mizumi (Justify), a debut winner with a field-best 85 Beyer Speed Figure going 6 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita May 2, is the 4-5 program favorite for her two-turn debut in the Summertime Oaks. She will face Marjoram (Quality Road), who returns to dirt following a last-to-first win sprinting in the grassy GIII Senorita S. May 9.The Monomoy Girl is headlined by GI Central Bank Ashland S. winner and 'Rising Star' Percy's Bar (Upstart), a disappointing seventh in the GI Kentucky Oaks.Saturday's graded stakes action also includes the GIII Robert G. Dick Memorial S. at Delaware Park and the GIII Daytona S. at Santa Anita. The 12-race Delaware Park program also features the $300,000 Delaware Derby.The post Bishops Bay Returns to Jersey Shore for Salvator Mile Title Defense appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
