Amoss Hopes for Better Days Ahead for Hoosier Philly

There was disappointment from the barn when Hoosier Philly  didn't get to run in the $500,000 Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) at Saratoga Race Course on July 22. But trainer Tom Amoss is hopeful there will be better days ahead for his gray 3-year-old filly.

"She is doing better today and she looks better than she did yesterday," Amoss said outside the Spa clubhouse on the morning of July 22.

Hoosier Philly, who was the 5-2 co-second choice along withGambling Girl  on the morning line for the Coaching Club American Oaks (G1), was withdrawn early on July 22 with what was called a minor foot issue.

Amoss could not say what is next for the daughter of Into Mischief  , who has four wins in seven career starts. She was expected to be part of the early pace in the CCA Oaks, which was won by Wet Paint .

"There is a process," Amoss said about the next step for Hoosier Philly. "We will go through the process and she will be back on the track shortly. There are no future plans. It's one step at a time right now. We are just worrying about getting her back on the track."
