Trained by Graham Motion, Alda finished 12th in last fall’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) going 1 mile. She did not return to the work tab until March 1 at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland, where she has breezed 6 times over the all-weather surface. Lexington Preview: Proxy in Search of First Stakes Victory “This is what we have pointed her for,” Motion said of Friday’s $100,000 TVG Limestone Turf Sprint going 5 1/2 furlongs on the grass. “My intention was to shorten her up for her first start off the break.” Winner of the Catch a Glimpse and runner-up in the Natalma (G1) at Woodbine last summer, Alda is scheduled to arrive at Keeneland Wednesday. She will be reunited with John Velazquez in Friday’s race.
