Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 1, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 1, 2019 Centennial Farms’ Preservationist (Arch) came out of his win in Saturday’s GI Woodward S. in fine shape, according to trainer Jimmy Jerkens. Preservationist stalked the pace and made a bid between horses in midstretch to win the Woodward, his first Grade I tally, by a half-length and register a 106 Beyer Speed Figure. “It’s always good when you can save ground and the horses can deal with being in a crowd like that and still be on the bridle. That’s huge,” said Jerkens. “It took a while to happen, but it finally did at the very end once a horse on the outside started to fade and opened it up a bit. I felt once he got some room, a big horse like him would wear them down.” While not ready to commit to a next start for the 6-year-old Preservationist, Jerkens said the Sept. 28 GI Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park was possible.
