Undefeated two-year-old filly So Many Ways, winner of the Grade 1 Spinaway
Stakes and Grade 3 Schuylerville Stakes, will not travel to California to run in
the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, it was announced Wednesday.
“I have struggled with the decision of whether or not we should push her as
she continues to grow and mature for the thrill of running in the Breeders’
Cup,” owner Maggi Moss said. “After great deliberation, I have weighed what is
in her best interest, versus my chance to compete at Santa Anita and decided it
is simply pushing her too hard.”
So Many Ways will head to the sidelines for the rest of 2012.
The Sightseeing filly captured her career debut, a 4 1/2-furlong maiden
special weight at Parx Racing, by eight lengths on June 9. So Many Ways traveled
to Saratoga for her next two wins, posting a 1 1/2-length score in the July 20
Schuylerville at six furlongs and a 2 1/2-length tally in the September 2
Spinaway at seven furlongs. Trained by Tony Dutrow, the bay Pennsylvania-bred
has bankrolled $307,800 for her efforts.
“One of the great things this filly did was bring me together with Tony and
Kim Dutrow,” Moss continued. “They have done an amazing job with her. I think we
are doing the right thing for the filly. She’s already given me the thrill
of a lifetime and I look forward to what I hope is a great three-year-old
campaign with her next year.”
So Many Ways will be turned out at Dutrow’s barn at Fair Hills Training
Center in Elkton, Maryland. She will join Dutrow at Palm Meadows Training
Center this winter, where she will resume training for a possible next start at
Gulfstream Park.
