Journalism (Curlin), last year's GI Preakness S., GI Santa Anita Derby and GI NYRA Bets Haskell S. winner, is back home at Santa Anita after receiving a winter break at Bridlewood Farm in Ocala, Florida. He jogged on the main track for the first time Saturday morning.
“It seemed like the ship went fine–he's full of himself,” trainer Michael McCarthy said. “Happy he's back.”
McCarthy added, “He'll start galloping here in a few days get back in his routine.”
Under consideration as a major goal for Journalism the first half of the season is the GI Metropolitan Handicap at Saratoga, which is usually run in June.
“We'll see how it goes here over the next couple of months. But yeah, that's certainly something to think about,” McCarthy said.
Journalism was voted a finalist as North America's outstanding 3-year-old-male of 2025.
