The Defense Rests worked four furlongs in 50:60 (28 of 52) on Saturday at Belmont. Mike said, “He is moving forward. It’s been frustrating with his feet, but they look good and he is moving well and looks very sharp. He turns some heads on the track.” The Defense Rests remains on a weekly breeze schedule. If all goes well, we are looking at an early June return to the races at Belmont Park.

Phosphorescent is scheduled to begin speedwork by “two minute licking” or galloping a strong mile in about two minutes on Saturday on the farm in Ocala.

Mr. Fantasy is galloping six days a week on the farm in Ocala. He looks great and is moving well. Our team conferred and now plan to ship him back to Mike Hushion toward the end of this month. We want him in the barn of the person who knows him best. Upon arrival, he’ll gallop for a a few more weeks before starting speedwork.
