One based in Maryland and the other in New York, Pascaline and Signator will switch places on Saturday for stakes engagements.
Pascaline carries an unblemished, 2-for-2 record into the $150,000 Bay Shore at Aqueduct for trainer Arnaud Delacour. Unseen since winning the Laurel Futurity at the end of September, he gets the services of the Big A’s leading jockey, Kendrick Carmouche.
West Point and co-owner Jim Hughes landed Pascaline a year ago this week at the Tattersalls Craven sale of two-year-olds in training
Signator blazed a new trail at age 5 with a victorious turf debut and will step up to stakes company in the one-mile Henry S. Clark Stakes on the grass at Laurel Park.
An OBS April acquisition in 2022, Signator retains jockey Samuel Marin, who deftly guided him up the inside to prevail by a head at a mile and a sixteenth on the turf on March 2 at Tampa Bay Downs. Shug McGaughey trains the gray son of Tapit.
