Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 8, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 8, 2018 e Five Racing and Stonestreet Stables’s champion Good Magic (Curlin) will remain at Keeneland to train up to the GI Kentucky Derby following his victory in Saturday’s GII Toyota Blue Grass S., trainer Chad Brown said Sunday. Brown said the colt came out of his effort well and would workout at the Lexington oval before ultimately shipping to Louisville. “Right now that’s my plan,” Brown confirmed. “He’ll have his first breeze back here in a couple weeks then [ship] over to Churchill.” With his Blue Grass win, Good Magic rebounded from a somewhat disappointing 2018 debut when third in the GII Fountain of Youth S. at Gulfstream Park Mar. 4. Trainer Mark Casse said Blue Grass runner-up Flameaway (Scat Daddy) also emerged from his effort well and will return to Casse’s Churchill base Monday to resume training for the Kentucky Derby. A Monday return to Churchill Downs was also in the cards for Saturday’s GI Ashland S. heroine Monomoy Girl (Tapizar), who likely stamped herself as the GI Kentucky Oaks favorite with a romping 5 1/2-length score. According to conditioner Brad Cox, the chestnut will van back to Louisville Monday or Tuesday. “Her work is done here and it is time to move on to the next town,” said Cox. “She ran the way we thought she would, with the way she had been training. It all worked out well.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
