Looking at the Racing Calendar - February programming seems to be all over the place. Tough if you have a mid-grade or Open horse looking for a 1400m race! -
I just bought a couple of old tried horses to race down here. I take it I can't sell you a share? -

Grade I winner Napoleon Solo (Liam's Map) continued preparations for his next Kentucky Derby qualifier with a strong work at Palm Meadows last Friday, but the question remains as to which race the grey will be pointed for at the end of the month. Cruising through five panels in 1:01.45, marking it the fastest work of five at the distance, the colt worked in company with Saffie Joseph Jr. trained Ruleroftheuniverse (Sharp Azteca). The latter posted 1:02.15 for the trip. “I couldn't be happier with how he's coming along,” trainer Chad Summers said of owner Gold Square's GI Champagne hero. “When we decided not to go to the Breeders' Cup and put this plan together, you need everything to go perfect–so far, everything is on track. He's scheduled to run on February 28, and he'll make one more start after that.” The races in contention are both 50-point Derby preps–the GIII Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct or Gulfstream Park's GII Fountain of Youth Stakes. Napoleon Solo claims 10 points already with his victory in Saratoga last October. Summers says there's a lot to consider before they pull the trigger on a final target. “Both the Gotham and Fountain of Youth are on the radar. We'll keep an eye on the weather in New York. The Gotham makes sense as he's had success over the track, it's a one-turn mile and possibly easier competition off the freshening, but it's also a 26-hour van ride.” Summers continued, “He's flourishing at Palm Meadows. He loves his round pen before he trains, it takes a little bit of the steam out of him before he goes to the track because he's not an easy actor [out there].” “Do I take him out of his rhythm? I don't know. If you run in the Fountain of Youth, all the options remain on the table for the next race. If you run in the Gotham, you miss a few days shipping out there and those March 28 races [GI Arkansas Derby and GI Florida Derby] go away and you're looking at the April 4 races [GI Blue Grass and GII Wood Memorial]. It's something [owner] Al [Gold] and I go back and forth on about seven times a day. Hopefully, we'll make a decision here in the next few days.” The post Napoleon Solo Continues Preparations, Next Target Still a Question Mark appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
