Paynes Prairie will make his west coast debut after an apparent private sale dictated the transfer of the colt from the Steve Asmussen barn to trainer Michael Pender.  Paynes Prairie was previously scheduled to start in the Grade 3 Sanford Stakes in late July at Saratoga with Asmussen raving about the colt’s progress in morning workouts.  The precocious runner was in impressive maiden winner July 4 at Belmont after finishing second in the Tremont Stakes ahead of the favorite. Paynes Prairie is a son of 2008 Grade 1 Wood Memorial winner Tale of Ekati out of a Songandaprayer mare.
