Joggers were out in force, with CHAMBERLAIN BRIDGE, SABERCAT and FORT LOUDONmaking the nicest impressions. Chamberlain Bridge had to be kept going the wrong way under a hammerlock as you could sense if the rider turned him the right way he would simply run off..
Sabercat is scheduled to work Tuesday, but in the meantime galloped strongly 1.5 times around. No one has had much to say about the Winchell colt, but he broke his maiden going a mile at MTH in his 4th start before winning the Garden State (1m-70y) by 6 lengths a month later. An April foal by Bluegrass Cat and out the unraced Forty Niner mare Miner's Blessing, it could be that this dark bay is maturing at the right time. He is a half to Fabled, a precocious Tale of the Cat son that Nick Zito trained to a debut juvenile win at Saratoga and an ALW win over Court Folly (!) on the Churchill 2yo Stars card in 2005. Knowing he had a sib win over the track, Sabercat could be the right kind of trifecta/superfecta include in the Juvenile at what is sure to be a boxcar number..
Fort Loudon came out for Stan Gold and clearly liked the cool weather and footing as he galloped happily.. Hamazing Destiny got his exercise in an looked better the longer he was out.. Drosselmeyer, Stay Thirsty and A.U. Miner jogged well and looked good coming exiting their weekend drills, and Uncle Mo came out as well a day after his middling move and was supposed to visited the gate for some schooling.. Tar Heel Mom, Somali Lemonade, Jake Mo & Stephanie's Kitten were all on view as well getting in various leg-stretchings..
Harrows are out now and the most anticipated post break spin will be HAVRE DE GRACE as well as APRIORITY..
