PRIVATE ZONE IN FLORIDA FOR THERAPY LEADING LISTS 9 By Claire Novak

rade I winner Private Zone will get some well- Gdeserved time off, co-owner and racing manager Rene Douglas said. The Macho Uno gelding shipped Dec. 1 to The Sanctuary Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Center near Ocala, Fla. Second in the Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I), Private Zone was a tired fifth as the favorite in the Cigar Mile (gr. I) Nov. 28. It was his first start for trainer Brian Lynch, who aborted a planned breeze prior to the race. "We never had a chance to work him, and at that point I should have decided not to go," Douglas said. "But he came out good. He has little 6-year-old issues; just wear and tear. I want to bring him back to Florida and give him all the treatment he deserves. The Sanctuary seems like a nice place, and he can go to the hyperbaric chamber." Private Zone was ninth in the 2013 Dubai Golden Shaheen (UAE-I), a race he could target in 2016. "I guarantee everyone will see a new Private Zone next year," Douglas said. BH
