Mark Casse on Nitrogen: "She can run with any filly in the country"

We catch up with Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse after DJ Stable's 3-year-old filly Nitrogen worked Friday morning at Churchill Downs (half-mile in 48 4/5 seconds), her last major training move before the Nov. 1, $2 million Breeders' Cup Distaff at Del Mar. A standout on both turf and dirt, Nitrogen lost Keeneland's Grade 1 Juddmonte Spinster in a photo finish in her first start against older fillies and mares. Rather than dwelling on the narrow defeat, Casse said, "You were disappointed, you want to win. But there were so many positives that came out of it. You always worry when you're going with a 3-year-old filly running against older fillies and mares for the first time: How do they stack up? And I came away from there staying, 'OK, she can run with any filly in the country.'"
