Three Jewels Update

Three Jewels continues to breeze right along and turned in his final work at Wavertree Stables this morning. In the video above, you will find his work from last Tuesday covering five furlongs in 1:01 and change over the main track with commentary from farm trainer Ciaran Dunne.

Given your son of American Pharoah was doing so well at Wavertree, we opted to keep him there as long as possible. Ciaran who likely knows this horse best with the extent of time he has been spent at Wavertree throughout his career, crafted a training schedule which Three Jewels has responded positively to. Bone bruising has been this horse’s Achilles heel, which led Ciaran to train him on the grass daily with the addition of turnout time even when in training to keep him moving and not spending too much time in a stall.

He has now accomplished everything we could at the farm and he is ready to return to the racetrack. Pending all continues well out of this final work, he is scheduled to ship later this week/weekend to Palm Meadows and return to the Julie Stormfelt and Kent Sweezey barn.

Heading to the race track, some things will naturally have to change but heading to Palm Meadows, he will still have the ability to get round pen turn out time and have the ability to train on the L course which will hopefully keep him relaxed and not overdo things with less traffic. We will also have the ability to breeze him on the grass at Palm Meadows to limit concussion if needed.

We will follow up once he arrives at the track.
