Grupo 7C Racing Stable's Jesus' Team (Tapiture), who finished third in Saturday's GI Preakness S. at Pimlico, will make his next start in either the GI Breeders' Cup Classic or GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.
“He will run in the Breeders' Cup, 100%,” said trainer Jose D'Angelo. “We just don't know what race–maybe the [Dirt] Mile or maybe the Classic. I will wait for the decision from the owners.”
Jesus' Team is currently getting some down time at Kenny McPeek's Magdalena Farm in Lexington and will head to Keeneland Friday to begin his Breeders' Cup preparations.
“Always after his races, for Jesus, I give him four or five days in a roll pen or a little paddock,” D'Angelo said. “At Keeneland, they don't have that. So I called Kenny McPeek and he said, 'Hey, come on, bring your horse. He's relaxing and enjoying his days off at Magdalena Farm.”
He continued, “On Friday, we'll move him to Keeneland again and start jogging and galloping him slow for a week. He'll have two or three works for the Breeders' Cup. The horse came back from the Preakness very good.”
D'Angelo will split his time between Keeneland and Gulfstream Park West leading up to the Breeders' Cup.
