It followed consecutive Allowance scores in the fall at Belmont Park and a MSW score in August. Carrumba has been competitive every time out and is expected to be again Saturday. Jose Ortiz will be in the saddle from post 3 trying for Carrumba's first stakes score.

Mei Ling - Todd Pletcher trained mare has four wins, six seconds and four third place finishes in 18 career starts.
