Bill Mott trainee Casa Creed worked Monday for the final time before the Grade 1 Jaipur, which he will attempt to win Saturday for the third year in a row.
The 7-year-old son of Jimmy Creed went four furlongs over the dirt training track at Saratoga in 50.39 seconds. He most recently finished a fast-finishing second behind Bathrat Leon in the 1351 Turf Sprint (G3) on Feb. 25 on the Saudi Cup undercard. It was the second year in a row Casa Creed had run second in that race.
Elite Power, also in the Mott barn, did his final tightener before an expected start this weekend as well. He drilled four furlongs in 49.99 seconds over the Saratoa dirt training track, his final work before Saturday's True North (G2) at Belmont. A win there would be his seventh in a row.
