TURBULENT DESCENT HOPING FOR SMOOTH RETURN IN BALLERINA

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Turbulent Descent returns to the scene of one of her most impressive victories when she makes her second start of the year in Friday’s Grade 1, $500,000 Ballerina at Saratoga Race Course.

A “Win and You’re In” race for the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, the seven-furlong Ballerina drew a field of seven for its 34th running, including multiple Grade 1 winner It’s Tricky, who is the 8-5 morning-line favorite for the Ballerina but is more likely to run in Sunday’s Grade 1, 1 1/8-mile Personal Ensign Invitational.
