Shippey Lane Will Go to Greater Lengths

Unbeaten in three starts here, Shippey Lane will stretch out to six furlongs for the first time in California in tonight’s $14,000 Summer Distaff.

Bred in Maryland by Seahorse Farm, Shippey Lane won an allowance by six lengths April 10, then won two more by a combined 4 1/4 lengths. Joy Scott again will ride.

The field also includes Rocket Run, who has won five of nine for trainer Felix Payne; Vialyn, who has won three of five for Lewis; All Virtue and Tikis French Kiss.

The picks: 1. Two Timing Waltzer. 2. Az Boy. 3. Siberian Snow. 4. Scr Proudest Target. 5. Booty Tacs. 6. First Blast. 7. Ojo De Santo. 8. Gildas My Dasher. 9. Shippey Lane. 10. Get Um Injun. 11. Wcr Strongest Link.

Four! Two Timing Waltzer and Tormentas Coast in the first, Az Boy, Twelvist entry and Beau Brummel Sa in the second, Siberian Snow in the third and Scr Proudest Target, Mr Sig, Rate Me Royal and Caliente Plente in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Shees Special Made debuts in the fifth, with Joe Badilla Jr. riding. Corona Comet, daughter of Corona Cartel, debuts for trainer Chris O’Dell in the seventh.
