Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 23, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 23, 2019 After having a seven-race winning streak snapped with a puzzling third in the GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. July 27, Mitole (Eskendereya) looks to bounce back versus five rivals in Saturday’s GI Forego S. at the Spa. The William and Corinne Heiligbrodt colorbearer was hammered into 1-2 favoritism while drawing the dreaded one-hole in that six-furlong contest following top-level successes in the GI Churchill Downs S. May 4 and GI Runhappy Metropolitan H. June 8. He reported home 7 1/2 lengths behind Imperial Hint (Imperialism), who set a new track record while defending his Vanderbilt title. Mitole is the 4-5 morning-line favorite for the Forego. The rail-drawn Promises Fulfilled (Shackleford), third in the Churchill Downs and fourth in the Met Mile, got back in the win column with a powerful decision in Belmont’s GII John A. Nerud S. July 6. He’s perfect in two previous attempts at the Spa last season, headed by the GI H. Allen Jerkens S. WinStar Farm LLC has since joined Robert J. Baron on the ownership line. “I got great respect for Mitole, he’s been a great horse this year, so we’ll have to see how he bounces back, but I think that we’re moving forward,” trainer Dale Romans said. “It should be a good race.” The post Mitole Looks to Rebound in Forego appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
