Another Breeze for El Areeb

El Areeb & Cal Lynch | MJC

'TDN Rising Star' El Areeb (Exchange Rate) turned in another easy breeze as he prepares for the GII Wood Memorial S. at Aqueduct Apr. 8. The GII Jerome S. and GIII Withers S. hero–a speed-and-fade third last time in the Mar. 4 GIII Gotham S.–was credited with a four-furlong drill in :51.60 (8/9). He worked alongside stakes-winning stablemate Winter (Awesome Again), who was piloted by El Areeb's regular rider Trevor McCarthy. Trainer Cal Lynch's son and assistant Charlie rode El Areeb. “He felt great,” offered Charlie Lynch. “He keeps continuing to grow and get better and better every day. We loved the way he worked today. He was pulling me all the way around there so we're really happy with that. My dad had a really big smile on his face when we got back so that's a good sign, usually.” Click here for video of the breeze.
