Phosy`s race did not go today nor did it come up as an extra tomorrow . The next allowance is Sat March 7th so will aim for that unless an extra comes up during the week at Gulfstream
Mr. Fantasy worked another sharp half-mile in preparation for the G3 $250,000 Gotham Stakes Saturday March 7th at Aqueduct Racetrack. According to Kiaran's assistant Artie Magnuson, the track had a little bit of moisture in it this morning, but Mr. Fantasy could not have been any more impressive. He went off in :12.1, meaning he covered the final three furlongs in an impressive :35.4. He galloped out five furlongs in 1:00 flat. This will be his final official workout prior to the race next Saturday.
According to Artie, "We're ready."

Glad to read Mr. Fantasy got his work in before the bad weather. Impressive work again. My mother and I and a friend are driving from the Finger Lakes area of NYS to watch Mr. Fantasy in the Gotham. We three ladies first saw the colt when he was a yearling at the Saratoga sales and said then we would follow this colt throughout his career. A barn visit last summer confirmed what a nice colt he is. Very much looking forward to seeing him this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good drive down and hoping for a good showing from Mr Fantasy ...
