The last few weeks has featured cavalcade of reports regarding injuries and retirements in the horse racing world, something that can seriously dampen any fan's enthusiasm for this fall's Breeders' Cup. However, at least one horse who was sidelined earlier this summer has made his way back to the track: Bob Baffert's Lookin At Lucky.
According to an article over at the Paulick Report today, the Preakness and Haskell winner breezed four furlongs in 49 and 2 at Del Mar in his first morning work since coming down with an illness following his race at Monmouth Park. The move ranked 26th out of 43 horses to work at that distance this morning.
Baffert did not indicate where Lookin At Lucky might run his next race but here's to hoping for no more speed bumps on his road to the Breeders' Cup.

Certainly good news
And speaking of Del Mar — did you see JP’s Gusto again? I
I tell you, when I saw him win the William Proctor at HP back in May I kept my program (which I rarely do) because I thought I might have seen a star in the making.
I didn't catch it live...
but watched the video replay last night. You’re right on with that horse, he was just pure power in the Futurity. That performance really impressed me especially since he dueled from the inside early but just pulled away from the field as soon as they hit the top of the stretch.
I’m guessing you’ll be putting a little something on him in the Juvenile?

There could be three pretty nice juveniles in that race...
If Uncle Mo is able to come up with a big race in the Champagne (which I think will be his next start), both he and Boys at Tosconova will take a good amount of play. There might be a bit of a bias against a SoCal, synthetic horse coming in…you might be able to get something like 7/2 or 9/1 on him, which I think would be pretty good.
