FURTHER AND BEYOND, champion two-year-old of last season, makes his three-year-old debut in Thursday’s Prince Consort Stakes, tuned to the minute and eyeing a third straight win for champion trainer Anthony Nunes.
Co-champion jockey, Dane Nelson, is aboard the Blue Pepsi Lodge-Rumble colt, who overhauled stablemate HOIST THE MAST and Wednesday’s impressive Thornbird Stakes winner, SHE’S A WONDER, to land December’s Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes at a mile.
Though returning off a three-month lay-up, FURTHER AND BEYOND’s manner of victory in the biggest two-year-old race of last season, is yet to be surpassed by any colt or gelding this year. Though his stablemate, CALCULUS, rebounded from a fifth-place finish in the Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes to chase down REGNANT and BILLY WHIZZ in the Sir Howard Stakes on March 14, FURTHER AND BEYOND is still too advanced for him to tackle at seven furlongs.
