Interesting placement of this horse Saturday. He’s not running in The Woodward, but is entered as a MTO for the Bernard Baruch?
Off since winning The Donn in February, I had wondered how Mott would prep him for Breeders Cup. This seems an odd tack--if he draws in, will he still run in the Jockey Club? If he doesn’t draw in, when will he return from the lay-off? Is Mott planning one prep or two?
Mott seems to always find the way to have his horses running their best in the Fall...at championship time. I consider him racing’s version of Reggie “Mr.October” Jackson...that would be in contrast to some trainers who pad their stats early in the season, a la Alex Rodriguez (a/k/a “Mr. April”).
