Good Magic Exits Haskell in Fine Shape

Good Magic (Curlin) exited his authoritative victory in Sunday’s GI Haskell Invitational S. in fine shape and trainer Chad Brown confirmed the Aug. 25 GI Travers S. was the colt’s next target.

“He looks good,” Brown said of Good Magic, who earned an automatic berth in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic with his Haskell victory.

Good Magic left the Monmouth Park backstretch at 6:30 a.m. Monday and was back at Brown’s Saratoga base some four hours later, but the Eclipse Award-winning trainer’s Monmouth staff enjoyed the champion’s brief stay at the Jersey shore.

“Having him here picks up the whole barn,” said Luis Carbrera, who runs Brown’s Monmouth Park barn. “I watched the race from the grandstand and a lot of our people went up to the front side to follow and cheer for the ‘Big Horse.’ We all enjoyed having him here, and it’s really nice to have a champion in the barn, if only for a short time. He’s a very nice horse, and he’s very easy to work with. He’s a real professional. This horse is all class.”

Bravazo (Awesome Again), who lost a shoe while running second in the Haskell, will also be pointed towards the Travers.

“I think the best horse won the Haskell, but my horse was going to make it interesting, maybe be a little closer,” trainer D. Wayne Lukas said. “But he ran very well and we’re very proud of him. He runs every time and he never lets us down. We’re going to point to the Travers. It’s shaping up as quite a race. It looks like they’re all going to go there.”
