SARATOGA SPRINGS Trainer Brad Cox got a little extra sleep Sunday morning.
That means he got up at 4:50 a.m. and was at the barn at 5:15, after he and some of his staff drove back from New Jersey Saturday and got into town at midnight.
He and owner Juddmonte will take some extra time before deciding whether Grade I Haskell winner Mandaloun will run in the Aug. 28 Travers at Saratoga Race Course.
That means it’ll be weeks before the next step is identified for Mandaloun, who was elevated from second to first in what turned out to be a wild, dangerous Haskell finish in which Hot Rod Charlie barely hit the wire first, then was disqualified.
