Last year's Distaff champion Ginger Punch is back to defend her title in the now-renamed Ladies Classic. Trainer Bobby Frankel sent her out for a gallop on Monday morning. Frankel said, "Zenyatta is obviously the one to beat. She'll be the shortest price of the day. But you've got to give her a try. My horse is doing great and she'll run well. I start seven horses over the two days and I like my fillies best. To be honest, these races are so tough I'd be happy if I can win one of them."
