Gottcha Gold Ready For Salvator Mile at Monmouth Park
Posted on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Saturday’s $300,000 Salvator Mile (G3) at Monmouth Park has an added attraction this year as a Breeders’ Cup Challenge event, meaning the winner earns an automatic starting berth in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile to be run on October 25 at Santa Anita Park.
For Centaur Farms, Inc.’s Gottcha Gold that’s just more incentive to try for a repeat in Monmouth’s top one-mile event of the summer. Last year, the 5-year-old son of Coronado’s Quest upset the odds-on Lawyer Ron in the Salvator and went on to run second to Corinthian in the inaugural running of the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile on a sloppy track last year at Monmouth Park.
Gottcha Gold, coming off a narrow neck to Student Council defeat in the Pimlico Special (G1) on May 16, Gottcha Gold has worked extremely well for his repeat try, finishing his prep with five-eighths in 1:01 3/5 last Saturday.
