Bringing back memories of the incredible feats of two-time Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1T) champion Da Hoss, coach Chad Brown has joined Klaravich Stable’s Domestic spending on this year’s FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile presented by PDJF (G1T), will be 448 days of layoffs on November 5.
“Although unlike (Da Hoss), we won’t have a prep in between, so he’s in the higher order,” Brown said on the morning of October 28. “He’s a baby. special horses and we just took the shot into history”.
Undeterred as Da Hoss has only started once in two years, coach Michael Dickinson ran the 6-year-old gelding in the Mile and defied it all with a sensational first win in the 1998 performance. in Churchill Downs.
A multi-class 1 winner, Domestic Spend was scratched on Thursday before entering last year’s Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1T) with a software injury.
Back at Brown’s barn in August, my 5-year-old son King impressed his coach with his renewed vigor in the morning. Since his first punctuality at Racecourse Saratoga On August 29, he resumed training in a regular working pattern. He wrapped five clips on Keeneland grass field last Saturday at 1:01 2/5.
“Last month, the horse in particular came in very well and I started thinking about the Breeders ‘Cup,” Brown said. “About three weeks ago I watched him work and he looked great. I started looking for a race for him and I couldn’t find one that made sense. “
The last reported start of Domestic Spend was a second place finish on August 14, 2021 Mr. D Stakes (G1T) at the late Arlington International Speedway. Routing 1/4 mile, he did not catch up with the person who was ahead Two Emmys by neck. The gelding class captured 1 1/8 mile Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic (G1T) on the Kentucky Derby (G1) first day of that season.
“As long as he has good wind tomorrow and he gets out of this job well, I’ll try it,” Brown said. “I know it’s not ideal to go for 15 months without any preparation but I’m not going to do it. If I don’t think he can pass the test and I won’t hurt him. There’s a lot to ask but he seems to be practicing superbly. He’s good and sound, happy and looking to run. “
The mile will be Spending’s first trip domestically with eight miles since starting his career for the second time in an allowance rank competition at Belmont Park when a child is 3 years old.
“He is very fresh and sharp right now. He can run a mile, he won a mile earlier in his career,” Brown said. “Is it best for him to go a little further? Yes, but he can do it. If he does a good draw and we have a good ride in the long run, I think he will at least have a long run.”
Domestic spending and his steady friend, companion Mile King of Glory is expected to appear on the Keeneland field at 10am tomorrow
