Breeders’ Cup Prep Continues At Belmont For Forever Young

Reigning Eclipse-winning Older Dirt Horse Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) continued his preparation for a return tilt in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic Oct. 31 with a half-mile breeze at Belmont Park Sunday morning. Working solo with assistant trainer Yuki Araki aboard, Japan's Horse of the Year went four furlongs in :51 4/5 (37/38), with NYRA clockers capturing him through splits of :13 4/5 and :38 flat. Araki opted to let Forever Young roll a bit more Sunday ahead of anticipated poor weather later in the day and through the upcoming week.
