Captain Cook Heads Field of 10 in Peter Pan

As much as the $ 200,000 Peter Pan Stakes (G3) is seen as a preparation career for the Belmont Stakes (G1) of June 7 (G1), coach Rick Dutrow Jr. sees it as educational for its two holders, Captain and McAfee .

For the captain Cook of Stable Stable, in particular, the bets of May 10, 1/8 miles for 3 -year -old children in Racecourse It should be quite revealing. A 9-5 favorite in Wood Memorial Stakes (G2) in the big a, Kentucky Derby’s plans (G1) were deranged when he finished fourth, 6 3/4 lengths behind Rodríguez And he could not gain qualification points and convince Dutrow that the son of Joke It could handle a distance of mile and distance from the mile and a quarter of the best 3 -year -old children.

“He is going well. He is happy, well. I thought he ran as well as the forest in the forest. I port” is a problem from the races. (Jockey Manny Franco) never complained about anything. I couldn’t hang out with him, “Dutrow said.” He tried as strong as he could and ran as fast as he could. “

All of which makes Dutrow uncertain if the future of the winner of the 1/8 miles of Withers rests with two turning races or a single turn.

“After seeing his last races, I feel that he could a limitation of distance when it comes to running against the good ones. That is what I saw in the forest. So, the party is not what I am dreaming. This race and not think about what follows,” Dutrow said. “I feel to shorten it, that could be your best game. But I don’t know with certainty. That has not yet been demonstrated.”

The pure black blood, the stables Swinbank, Judy Hicks and McAfee of Scott Rice, which was fifth in the wood, 1 1/4 long behind Captain Cook, also faces some marks away. He Cloud computing Half brother up to 2024 horses of the year Thordedo Anna It was previously fifth in the Mile Gotham Stakes (G3).

“We are very happy with him, but again, we don’t know what his game is,” said Dutrow. “I felt that he has run as good as possible every time I put a chair. I don’t know if two shifts are his game, but the owners because to have another chance, they feel that this may be the place for him to move. A amazing race runs on Saturday and things change for him.”

Coach Todd Pletcher will also send a duo at Winstar Farm and Repuro Stables’s Not scattered and Team Penney Racing Vasimo . No boxes (Curlin ) A victory comes in an optional allocation claimer of April 6 in Aqueduct while Vasmo (Nyquista ) He was sixth in the Louisiana Derby (G2).

“The mile and the addition of Blinkers seemed to help the night last time. He has the pedigree to spend more time, so we expect a good performance of him,” said Pletcher. “We are trying to put Vassimo again. We want to involve it earlier and put it in the flow of the race.”

Another superior threat in the 10 field is Racing Usas Hill (Quality path ) Who was third in the Breeders’ Juvenile (G1) Cup and also third in his debut for coach Chad Brown and Lone Race at 3, Tampa Bay Derby (G3).

Brown has also entered the debut winner of Earle Mack Lordship (Weapons Corridor ), Who is eaten in the long branch. Monmouth Park The same day.
