SARATOGA SPRINGS — First Captain has been playing catch-up.
Actually, he’s been winning catch-up, if that’s a game in which you give your classmates a huge head start, then you try to cut the gap.
Unraced at 2 in 2020 and until April this year, after having been purchased for $1.5 million at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale, the son of Curlin is undefeated from three career starts, most recently the Grade III Dwyer at Belmont Park on July 5.
Now, the Aug. 28 Travers is on his calendar, provided he proves himself worthy of the shot when he runs in the Curlin at Saratoga Race Course. He worked in company with Cambi Lion on the Oklahoma Training Track first thing Saturday morning, and showed nothing to dissuade trainer Shug McGaughey from forging ahead to the Curlin — and thinking about the Travers.
