Soon-to-be sophomore colts Gunnevera (Dialed In) and Three Rules (Gone Astray) will both make their next starts in graded stakes at Gulfstream this winter.
Winner of the GII Saratoga Special S. and a decisive victor of the GIII Delta Downs Jackpot S. last time Nov. 19, Gunnevera will make his next start in the GII Holy Bull S. Feb. 4.
“I want to run him in the Holy Bull, and if he runs good, I'll go in the [GI] Florida Derby [Apr. 1],” trainer Antonio Sano said. “There's no room for the [GII] Fountain of Youth [S. Mar. 4]. I'll run in the Florida Derby, and then I hope [GI] Kentucky Derby [May 6].”
Four-time stakes winner Three Rules, who lost his perfect record when sixth last time in the GI Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Juvenile Nov. 5, will make his return in the GII Swale S. Feb. 4.
“He's doing good, very good. He's been galloping about [five] days now,” conditioner Jose Pinchin said. “He's had a good year and he deserved some rest. He'll probably run back in the Swale or something like that.”
