Three-time stakes winner No Nay Mets launches his 3-year-old campaign April 7 in the $250,000 Palisades Stakes going 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf on Keeneland‘s opening weekend.
Edge Racing, a syndicate group through MyRacehorse, recently bought into No Nay Mets. Along with Edge Racing, No Nay Mets remains under the ownership of Bregman Family Racing and WWBD Racing, who acquired the son of No Nay Never for $1.025 million at last year’s Goffs London Sale following his sparkling debut score in the Royal Palm Juvenile Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
No Nay Mets, trained by George Weaver, has been sidelined since a solid fourth-place effort in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1T) last November. Favored on the back of his two impressive victories in stakes company ahead of the Breeders’ Cup, he was beaten only 1 1/2 lengths for the win.
Irad Ortiz Jr. will be aboard No Nay Mets, the 5-2 morning-line favorite in an oversubscribed field of 12 3-year-old males.
Another horse returning to stakes action on Sunday is the Mark Casse-trained My Boy Prince. The Gary Barber color bearer, a last-out third in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1T) at a mile, will cut back to one turn for the first time since his 14-length romp in Woodbine‘s Simcoe Stakes in August.
