The connections of GIII Vosburgh Stakes winner Patriot Spirit (Constitution) are not quite ready to commit their 'Win and You're In' victor to the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint, though a trip to Del Mar is in the cards no matter what they decide.

Trainer Michael Campbell has provided a good prognosis for this son of Constitution in the post-race follow-up Sunday morning, and admitted that he's got his eyes on the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile as well when asked about using his guaranteed berth into the Sprint.

“He's [come out] perfect. I told him that he's got to get a plane ride to Del Mar, so he's excited about it. We are all going,” Campbell said.

“I don't want to go that far yet,” he replied when asked about confirmation for the Sprint. “I'm going to take a look at the [Dirt] Mile as well. I just need to get my arms around this a little bit. If you notice the way he galloped out yesterday, I think that was a telltale sign, too. It depends on many factors. I haven't talked to the owner yet.”

Patriot Spirit earned a 96 Beyer for his Vosburgh win, which matches his career-best from his prior close seconds in the Knicks Go Stakes at Churchill Downs this past spring and in the Fifth Season Stakes at Oaklawn Park back in January.

“The important thing is, this performance wasn't an isolated incident–he brings his 'A' game.”
