Confirming Zenyatta’s Quality

Next for Switch

Trainer John Sadler tells DRF his plans for the Santa Monica winner:

Switch’s future is in longer races, Sadler said on Sunday. He plans to start Switch in the $300,000 Santa Margarita Invitational Stakes over 1 1/8 miles on March 12, and perhaps in the $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park on April 15. His long-term goal is a start in the Breeders’ Cup at Churchill Downs in November. “We’re looking at six or seven races this year,” Sadler said.

Watching her last race, longer doesn’t seem a problem.
