Former claimer Fibber chases graded glory in Dogwood
Since joining trainer Chris Hartman’s barn in late May, Fibber has shown she’s worth every penny of her $100,000 claiming price, and she’s set to prove it again Saturday in the Grade 3, $300,000 Dogwood Stakes at Churchill Downs.
The 3-year-old daughter of Frosted, owned by Flatland Racing Stable, has been in top form since moving to Hartman’s barn in late May, winning both of her starts for her new connections. After a victory in a conditioned allowance contest in June at Churchill Downs, she followed that up with a win in the Aug. 11 Audubon Oaks at Ellis Park that pushed her earnings to $365,700.
“We really liked this filly even before she was in for the $100,000 claiming tag,” Hartman said. “She’s been very impressive so far in both of her wins with us. She’s always run solid races, even last year as a 2-year-old. Last time out at Ellis, she proved she really liked the seven-eighths distance.”
Fibber initially raced under trainer Bret Calhoun and won her first two career starts before being claimed on May 25. She will break from post 2 in the seven-furlong Dogwood with jockey Axel Concepcion aboard.
