Elmont, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – Zivo, Last Gunfighter, Wicked Strong and Moreno all had workouts Saturday for next week’s $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park.<\/p>\n
Trained by Chad Brown, Zivo and Last Gunfighter worked five furlongs in 59.50 seconds on the main track at Belmont.<\/p>\n
“I thought they breezed terrifically,” said Brown. “They went together, were equal. I thought they both breezed great.”<\/p>\n
Wicked Strong, trained by Jimmy Jerkens, went six furlongs Saturday morning over the main track in 1:13.15.<\/p>\n
“I liked it,” said Jerkens. “It was fast, but not for (how fast) that track is. It’s been a while since he did work over there, but I figured since he’s going to be running on it … if he goes in 1:11, he goes in 1:11; what are you going to do?”<\/p>\n
Jerkens is also likely to have Travers winner V. E. Day start in the 1 1\/4- mile Gold Cup.<\/p>\n
Whitney Handicap winner Moreno worked five furlongs in 1:03.31 over the Oklahoma training track at Saratoga. Trained by Eric Guillot for owner Southern Equine Stable, Moreno was second in the Woodward three weeks ago at Saratoga.<\/p>\n
“It was just an easy maintenance move,” said Guillot. “He went in 1:03 and change; it would have been :59 if it was on the (Saratoga) main track, but the Oklahoma is tiring. He came out of it good so far; tomorrow morning will be the real test.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
