We had him slowed down from that long work and those 3-mile gallops. It’s a wonder he took it all. When I look back on it, the things that surprise me a lot in my whole life is how I thought up these things, like working them so fast, or so far, what was I thinking about? Like, War Command in the 2 mile race, I always thought a horse needed to do it in the morning if he’s going to do it in the afternoon. I galloped him three miles one day, three miles the next… where did I get the idea to do that?”

24 The Saratoga Special Wednesday, August 12, 2015 Birdstone – Continued from page 24 here long enough. It’s very important that you work here a few times. It’s a different track. Hopefully now we nailed it this year, having done a couple bits with him.” Cary Street, a bit of a character around the barn who likes to jump around, groan and squeal from time to time, is doing well with the change of scenery. Walsh is based for a big chunk of the year at Churchill Downs, but he kept some of his horses in Lexington for much of the spring after the Keeneland meet closed at the end of April. Moving around seems to suit Cary Street, who trained at Keeneland before last year’s Marathon. Walsh hopes to get back again for the Marathon, which will again be worth $200,000 and run on Breeders’ Cup Friday at 1 3/4 miles. If all goes well in the Birdstone, Cary Street’s logical final prep would be a defense of his title in the Grade 3 Greenwood Cup Sept. 7 at Parx Racing. “It would be good if we can get that form back from last year,” Walsh said. “We’d go here, go back to Parx and then I think we’d go straight (to Keeneland). They’re having the Marathon back there again and it would be nice to win it on our home pad. “Last year when we went to the Breeders’ Cup I moved horses to Keene- land about three or four weeks before we went. He loves a change. It kind of brightens him up. So I brought him over there and he did his last few works before the Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland. He loves Keeneland. If we do end up getting back there it will all be to our advantage.” Cary Street is one of eight entered in the Birdstone, along with last year’s winner and 5-2 morning-line favorite Micro- manage. The 5-year-old son of Medaglia d’Oro is 2-for-11 since the 2014 Birdstone, the victories coming in back-to-back starts in December and January on the inner track at Aqueduct, and like Cary Street a well-beaten finisher in the Brooklyn June 6. Turco Bravo is the 3-1 second choice despite coming off three straight losses for Gary Contessa. He won the Stymie in late March at Aqueduct and placed in three other route stakes prior to that effort. Northeast Bound is 5-1 on the line off a victory going 1 3/16 miles May 7 at Churchill Downs for Dale Romans, while New York-bred allowance winner Gridley Here shares the 6-1 price of Cary Street. Village Warrior, Tacticus and Desvelo complete the field.

She comes back on 10 days rest with John Velazquez named for the return call. “I know there isn’t much time in between, but we tried to work on her having some long open gallops, so she wouldn’t be quite as sharp. So maybe she’ll relax a little,” Gyarmati said. “I don’t have a plan because last time I had a plan and it didn’t go as planned. I don’t know how it will work, maybe she’ll get the lead and relaxes or if she doesn’t, maybe that will be better, she can sit off it.” The other three Freud fillies in the race are Psychiatry, Perfect Freud and Loon River.
