Trainer Wesley Ward indicated Saturday morning that his 1-2 finishers in Friday’s FanDuel Limestone (L) might be headed in different directions. 

The winner, Stonestreet Stables’ Love Reigns (IRE), could have a return trip to Royal Ascot in England, where she ran fourth in last year’s Queen Mary (G2). The target this year would be the King’s Stand (G1) on June 20. 

The runner-up, AMO Racing’s Lady Hollywood (GB), will target the $225,000 Mamzelle (L) to be run May 3 over 5½ furlongs at Churchill Downs. 

Ward said both fillies were doing well Saturday morning after making their 2023 debuts in the FanDuel Limestone. They had not run since finishing off the board against males in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1) here in November. 

Another runner from that Breeders’ Cup race who made her 2023 debut in the FanDuel Limestone was KatieRich Stables’ American Apple, who finished fourth. 

“She got caught a little wide yesterday, but I thought it was a good race off the layoff,” trainer Daniel Leitch said. “She will probably go to the Mamzelle; I’m going to nominate her today.”
