Coasted Returns in Herecomesthebride

Treadway Racing Stable's Coasted, who last raced in the Nov. 4 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1T), will make her return in the $100,000 Herecomesthebride Stakes (G3T) on the Xpressbet.com Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) undercard Mar. 4.

Trained by Leah Gyarmati, Coasted finished second to New Money Honey by a half-length in the Juvenile Fillies Turf at Santa Anita Park. The Tizway   filly won the Sept. 1 P. G. Johnson Stakes at Saratoga Race Course after breaking her maiden by six lengths there Aug. 7. Prior to her Breeders' Cup start, she placed third in the Oct. 2 Miss Grillo Stakes (G3T) at Belmont Park.

"She might have gotten a little too far back and that kind of complicated things, first of all because of the traffic and having to make up all that ground," Gyarmati said. "She did get into a few tight spots in the stretch, but that being said, that just made it all the more impressive."

Jeff Treadway paid $210,000 for the filly, bred by Spendthrift Farm out of the Malibu Moon   mare Malibu Pier, at the 2015 Keeneland September yearling sale from the Warrendale Sales consignment.

"She's been training very well. She breezed on the grass the other day," Gyarmati said of a Feb. 26 five-furlong breeze over the Gulfstream turf in 1:01 2/5. "I was waiting to see how that went to see whether I might run or not.  She went very, very well—came down the lane great and she galloped out well. She's doing great. We'll see how that translates into the race Saturday."

Sweeping Paddy and stakes winner Happy Mesa also ran the Juvenile Fillies Turf but both finished out of the money.

Giving Coasted four pounds, John Oxley's Dream Dancing comes into the race off a Jan. 28 optional-claiming allowance score at the same distance on the turf. The Tapit   filly also posted a bullet four-furlong work at Palm Meadows Training Center in :49 flat for trainer Mark Casse, the fastest of eight Feb. 24. 

Dream Dancing finished fourth in her stakes debut on the dirt to Daddys Lil Darling in the grade 2 Pocahontas Stakes Sept. 17 at Churchill Downs. Three weeks later she finished fifth behind Dancing Rags and runner-up Daddys Lil Darling in the Darley Alcibiades Stakes (G1) at Keeneland. Prior to her turf allowance win, she finished seventh in Farrell's Golden Rod Stakes (G2) score Nov. 26 at Churchill.

The question mark in the Herecomesthebride is Alfonso Cammarota's Conquest Hardcandy. The New York-bred, a $40,000 purchase from the Conquest Stables dispersal during the Keeneland November mixed sale, comes into the race with only two starts. The daughter of Candy Ride   broke her maiden in her last start at 7 1/2 furlongs on the Gulfstream turf in a Feb. 12 maiden special weight for trainer Antonio Sano, who signed for the filly at the dispersal.
