Gunnevera Fires Bullet for Return

Gunnevera (Dialed In) breezed five furlongs in 1:00, the fastest of 26 works at Gulfstream Park West Saturday morning in preparation for an expected return at Gulfstream Park Friday before a tilt at the Sept. 1 GI Woodward S. at Saratoga.

“I’m very happy with his work,” said trainer Antonio Sano. “He galloped out very good.”

The seventh in a series of workouts in preparation for a return from a four-month layoff, the workout was the final major move before the 4-year-old marks his return in a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming race Friday. Gunnevera, who was last seen finishing eighth after catching a quarter during the running of the Mar. 31 G1 Dubai World Cup, was subsequently freshened in Ocala for two months to give the hoof time to heal before returning to Sano’s Gulfstream Park West stable.

Winner of the GII Saratoga Special S. at two, the chestnut recorded wins in the GII Fountain of Youth S. and GIII Delta Jackpot S. early in his sophomore season before adding a victory in Gulfstream’s Tangelo S. in August. He rounded out the season with a runner-up finish in the Spa’s Aug. 26 GI Travers S. followed by a fifth in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar Nov. 4. In his 2018 bow, he ran third in Gulfstream’s GI Pegasus World Cup Jan. 26.
