Trainer CHAD BROWN, talking to the New York Racing Association media office, said that Peter Brant’s stretch-running filly BIG BRASS BED will make her next start in the $500,000 Woodbine Oaks on July 23.

The chestnut Ontario-bred began her career in April at Gulfstream Park when third in a 7 1/2 furlong turf race and she won her maiden at Monmouth Park at 1 1/16 miles on turf on May 13 with a 78 Beyer Speed Figure. She was 7-to-2 in an allowance race last week at Belmont Park but was well back of a slow pace, stumbled into the stretch and closed well to be just 1 3/4 lengths back of the winner.

“She got a bad trip and took a bad step in the stretch,” said Brown of the filly’s last-out effort. “She’s recovered OK and we’ll just draw a line through it. The Woodbine Oaks will be next.”
