Chasing Time Workout Report

Chasing Time shipped to Turfway Park and had his first breeze since his race this morning, working a half-mile in :52.60 on the all-weather track. While his last race took a little bit out of him energy-wise, he is back in a regular training routine and we are excited to announce our next race target at this time will come at Kentucky Downs. On September 2nd, there is an allowance race which is restricted for horses that have not won a graded sweepstakes on the turf in 2023 for a lucrative purse of $180,000.

Even though this will be your colt’s first attempt at the turf despite 18 starts on the dirt, it has been something that has been discussed on multiple occasions. Between his three other siblings to race, there have only made two starts over the turf which were unsuccessful but his stallion, Not This Time, who was recently valued at 100M by one of his stallion shares selling for 2M at the recent Saratoga Sale on Monday, has been proven by his offspring on every surface. Not This Time is also currently represented by the #1 ranked turf male in Up to the Mark. Chasing Time’s dam, Race Hunter, was a winner on debut over the lawn in England before shipping to the U.S. and mostly competing on the Tapeta which is a synthetic material more comparable to turf than dirt.

Given we proceed with this race option it will be an interesting experiment that could give us some more race options moving forward.
