Dominus, Wine Police, and Justin Phillip, trainer Steve
Asmussen’s three nominees for Travers Day stakes, turned in five-furlong breezes
on Wednesday over a
Saratoga main track labeled “good.”
Winner of the Grade 2 Dwyer and
third in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy, George Bolton, Stonestreet Stables, and
Spendthrift Farm’s Dominus was caught by NYRA clockers traveling the distance in
1:00.68, the fourth quickest of seven moves. He is on the nominee list for the
Grade 1, $ 1 million Travers Stakes.
J. Kirk and Judy Robison’s Wine
Police and Zayat Stables’ Justin Phillip, respectively third and fourth in the
Grade 2 Amsterdam, are being pointed toward starts in the Grade 1 Foxwoods
King’s Bishop at seven furlongs. Wine Police was timed in 1:03.56, while Justin
Phillip was clocked in 1:01.45.
“We’ve had a little adjusted work
period for all of them because of all the rain earlier in the week,” said
Asmussen. “We’ll see how they come out of this.”
