Trainer Wesley Ward has saddled the winner of two of the previous five runnings of the $300,000 Palisades (L) for 3-year-olds going 5½ furlongs on the grass, and Sunday he will send out two stakes-winning fillies in Dreamaway and Long Neck Paula in a field of 10 plus one also-eligible.
The Palisades will go as the afternoon’s eighth race with a 4:44 p.m. post time. First post is 1 p.m.
John Oxley’s Dreamaway won the Colleen at Monmouth last summer and will be making her 2025 debut. Gerardo Corrales has the mount from post 5.
Will Stroud and Debra O’Connor’s Long Neck Paula, winner of the Bowman Mill against the boys here last fall and the Prairie Meadows Debutante, makes a quick turnaround after finishing sixth in the Serena’s Song last Saturday, March 29 at Turfway Park. Corey Lanerie has the mount from post 1.
