2024 Three Year Olds

I hope he stays stateside, travelling overseas takes half the year to get over. Some don’t come back the same.

Chad Brown is allergic to racing horses outside of the US, so I think your wish will come true.

Really happy he has found a home on the turf and will now get some time off before a big 4 yo NY campaign. Love him and so well-trained by the Clements.

Agreed. He’s a nice looking horse, and I hope he puts in another good year next year!

Steel Valley Sprint: Epic Ride sitting on big race in second start since layoff
https://www.drf.com/news/steel-valley-s ... art-layoff

Even without Book'em Danno, this is a nice field. Epic Ride is grade I-placed, World Record is a grade II winner at the Spa, five-time stakes winner Valentine's Candy and the comebacking Glengarry.

Valentine Candy (Justify) won the Steel Valley Sprint S. over Maximus Meridius (Maximus Mischief) and World Record (Gun Runner).

Nutella Fella back in training

Nutella Fella, the 2023 Grade 1 Hopeful winner, is on the comeback trail.

Nutella Fella had his fourth workout of the fall last Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs, going a half-mile in 50 seconds. That was his second work at Tampa, which followed a pair of workouts at Saratoga, moves that trainer Gary Contessa called pedestrian.

“His first work at Tampa he went 37 and one, out in 48, 1:02 and 2,” Contessa said. “The other day he went a half in 50, out in 1:02 and 1:14 and 4. He’s doing really, really well.”

Nutella Fella, who won the Hopeful at odds of 54-1, suffered an ankle injury preparing for the Champagne in 2023. In his only start this year, Nutella Fella finished third on June 8 at Saratoga in the Grade 1 Woody Stephens, 1 3/4 lengths behind Book’em Danno. He emerged from that race with a re-aggravation of the ankle injury, which Contessa termed bone-bruising.

The first sprint stakes at Tampa in 2025 is the $125,000 Pelican on Feb. 8, but Contessa wasn’t committing to making that.

“I don’t want to feel like I’m pointing to a race,” Contessa said. “My goal for the year is to make him one of the top sprinters in the country.”

Would be fun if he could stay in one piece. I was dubious about the Woody Stephens placement, but he didn’t embarrass himself there after a huge layoff.

It also added excitement to the game when his owner wrote an op ed complaining that his Hopeful Beyer was too low.

Can you explain this? How is an owner ignorantly questioning something he doesn't understand adding "excitement" to the game?

I'm fairly certain Northport was being sarcastic.

Really happy for him-love this hard-trying gray son of Arrogate who has really blossomed under Brittany’s care when moved to the East coast. Wonder what’s next for him? Maybe a freshening then a big 4 yo season!
