🗞️ Journalism at the Spa! 🗽
It was during this time last year that JOURNALISM (Curlin) closed out his Triple Crown race campaign with a runner-up finish to Sovereignty in the GI
@BelmontStakes at Saratoga Race Course.
This year, the multiple Grade I-winning
@mwmracing trainee faces a different kind of test as he returns to New York for Saturday's GI Metropolitan Handicap which boasts a very strong field, including 'TDN Rising Star' Nysos.
"We liked the timing of the Oaklawn Park Handicap, thought he ran a very solid race, and all indications are that he will move forward off the effort," said
@AronWellman7 of
@EclipseTBP.
Following his third-place finish in the GII Oaklawn Handicap, Journalism returned to California, worked three times at Santa Anita Park and was shipped to Saratoga on May 27. He breezed a half-mile in :49.27 on the Saturday morning with Amelia Green aboard.
In what could be his final visit to Saratoga, Journalism will take on experienced top-quality runners with the added challenge of shortening up to eight furlongs for first time since he broke his maiden in November 2024. The Met Mile drew a field of seven, with Journalism drawing post seven.
