I CAN SEE EYES $500,000 MATRIARCH CLOSING DAY OF TURF FESTIVAL
I Can See, a 5-year-old mare who has overcome the handicap of blindness in one eye to earn more than $400,000, worked five furlongs on turf in 1:01.60 Sunday at Hollywood Park for the $500,000 Matriarch on Nov. 30. The Grade I Matriarch, co-featured with the $500,000 Hollywood Derby on closing day of the three-day Turf Festival, is for fillies and mares at one mile on grass.
"She worked very nicely, as good as I could expect," said trainer Steve Knapp after the drill under exercise rider Fernando Serna. "I will work here once more next Sunday, and if all goes well, she will run in The Matriarch."
