Sovereignty gallops over the Saratoga main track on Friday. Trainer Bill Mott is scheduled to work him over the weekend.
Rodriguez and Baeza both turned in serious workouts Friday morning at Santa Anita in preparation for scheduled starts in the $2 million Belmont Stakes at Saratoga on June 7.
Rodriguez, the Wood Memorial winner who scratched from the Kentucky Derby due to a foot issue, went seven furlongs in 1:24.80. Santa Anita clocker Dane Nelson caught Rodriguez’s first five furlongs in 59.60 seconds.
“Looked good, so we’ll see how he comes out of the work, but from what I saw today he’s definitely coming to the Belmont unless something drastically changes,” trainer Bob Baffert said by phone from Calfiornia. “The track wasn’t really fast, he was by himself, went around there nice. It was a nice, stiff breeze and he handled it really well. I’m happy.”
Rodriguez was scratched by Baffert from the Derby due to a minor foot issue that never really took the horse out of serious training. He worked a week after the Derby at Churchill Downs before Baffert decided to ship him to his home base of Southern California.
