Saratoga Springs, NY (Sports Network) – Champion colt Shanghai Bobby had his first workout on Monday since being sidelined with an injury.<\/p>\n
Trained by Todd Pletcher, Shanghai Bobby had a three-furlong work at Saratoga as he starts his comeback since being diagnosed with a slight pelvic stress fracture. His last start was in the Florida Derby on March 30 when he finished fifth.<\/p>\n
“It was his first work back, and it went very well,” Pletcher said. “It was just an easy three-eighths. It was nice to get him back on the work tab. He went just nice and easy by himself, just getting him back into a routine. He did exactly what we were hoping he would do, and seemed to handle it well.”<\/p>\n
The 3-year-old colt, owned by Starlight Partners, covered the distance in 38.95 seconds.<\/p>\n
“Now, we’ll kind of start to pick it up gradually as we go along,” Pletcher said. “Basically, he’ll be on a weekly work schedule from here, but I don’t see him making a race here at Saratoga.”<\/p>\n
Shanghai Bobby won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita last November to secure the Eclipse Award as champion 2-year-old of 2012. He was undefeated in five starts last year, but winless in two starts in 2013 with a second to Itsmyluckyday in the Holy Bull Stakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
