The Green Monkey, the $16 million 2-year-old in training purchase, worked three furlongs in 39.93 seconds Tuesday morning over Belmont's main track. It was his first breeze since Aug. 2, after which he was sidelined with a pulled gluteal muscle in his left hindquarters.
"We were just looking to stretch his legs a little bit first time back," trainer Todd Pletcher said.
Pletcher said The Green Monkey missed about three weeks of training following the muscle pull. He resumed training at the end of August. Pletcher said if all goes well, The Green Monkey could debut in mid-November.
