On October 28th, Golden Pal made a “leg strudel” maintenance work in Keeland and let me know that he is ready.
“He is where we want it; it is a matter of maintenance,” said Ward. “Everything we needed was a little leg stretcher, and that was exactly what he did. I was pretty ecstatic when he came to the wire, he had both ears forward and you could see that he was in a high -ranking gallop.”
Ward said he knew that the race will contain some strenuous competitors overseas, but he is confident that his horse has the talent that is necessary to win.
“You have the fastest lawn horses from all over the world. But you know we are ready for you,” he said. “I have the fastest horse, so it's a question of happiness now.”
