Reigning Horse of the Year Sovereignty (Into Mischief) worked a half-mile at Payson Park on Sunday morning. Also named the Eclipse Award champion 3-year-old of the 2025 season, the Godolphin homebred covered four furlongs in the official time of :49.64.
According to the DRF, the colt worked in tandem with GSP Royal Majesty (GB) (Frankel {GB}), finishing a length ahead of his stablemate while galloping out five furlongs in 1:03.88.
“I thought he looked great,” Bill Mott told DRF Sunday. “He's been off a while. You'd want six or eight works in him before you run him, I'd think.”
According to Mott, the 4-year-old will make his seasonal debut in the GII Oaklawn Handicap on Apr. 18.
The champion has now recorded three works since getting KO'd from a start in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar in November.
After a three-furlong work at Payson on Feb. 15 (:37.40), the bay covered the same trip (and time) on Feb. 22 prior to Sunday's move.
