unTaPaBle eYes BoYs

Untapable, the impressive winner of the Kentucky Oaks, destroyed an overmatched group of fillies in the Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont Park, and could start against the fellas in the July 27 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park.

It’s a move Untapable’s trainer Steve Asmussen successfully made in 2009 with Rachel Alexandra after she won the Mother Goose Stakes by 191/ lengths. On Saturday, Untapable merely won by 91/ while under a hand ride from jockey John Velazquez to return $2.10 as the 1-20 favorite in the field of five.

“There’s definitely the thought of running her against the boys,” Asmussen said.
