Florida-breds Make Florida Racing Did you know Florida-bred thoroughbreds won 31.5% of races run at the recent Gulfstream Park Championship Meet? This demonstrates how vital Florida-breds are to the success of Gulfstream Park throughout the year—not just during the Spring/Summer season. Additional good news for Florida breeders—66% of those Florida-bred winners during the Gulfstream Park Championship Meet were sired by Florida stallions. Florida-breds: Race ‘Em or Chase ‘Em! Back to Top Back to Top Page 5 Eventful Morning for France Go de Ina Preakness Contender Works at Pimlico French Go de Ina BY PIMLICO PRESS OFFICE __________________________ BALTIMORE—There were some anxious moments for Yuji Inaida’s France Go de Ina at Pimlico Race Course Wednesday morning. The colt from Japan had just completed his four-furlong breeze when exercise rider Masaki Takano suddenly fell off the son of Will Take Charge just after he passed the finish line. There were no other horses on the track. France Go de Ina pre- pares for Saturday’s Grade 1 Preakness Stakes each day following regular training hours due to quarantine regulations. Takano slowly got to his feet as France Go de Ina continued on Click to View before being apprehended by Pimlico outriders. Both Takano and the horse are fine, according to Kate Hunter, the Preakness field representative for the Japan Racing Association. “[Takano] slipped a bit from the stirrup on the left side and lost his balance,” Hunter said. “The horse is fine.” Trainer Hideyuki Mori was trackside and bolted towards the Florida-bred Medina Spirit winner’s circle, where Takano stood and waited for France Go de Ina to be retrieved and brought back. Takano then got back on at Pimlico board and was led by Yuri into the Pimlico paddock, where he took several laps in a schooling session. After watching video of the incident, Mori was relieved that France Go de Ina did not stumble or take a bad step. “It had nothing to do with the horse,” Mori said through Hunter, who serves as his interpreter. “He breezed well. Luckily, or unluck- ily, the rider fell off after the goal, just after the finish line, after he finished his workout.” France Go de Ina, who finished sixth in the Group 2 UAE Derby sponsored by Emirates NBD on March 27 in Dubai after winning two of three starts in Japan, was timed in :49.40. Having a workout three days before a major race is not common in the United States, but Hunter said it’s quite common in Japan. She also said that after an exercise rider falls or is thrown from a horse in Japan, things are different. “In Japan, there are no outriders,” Hunter said, “So, they kind of Click to View let the horse stop and the guy who fell off has to go catch it.” After he walked back to the barn with Takano on his back, France Go de Ina did his normal hour of walking at the isolation barn following his visit to the track. “We are just very happy that the horse is okay,” Mori said. Concert Tour at Pimlico Medina Spirit, Concert Tour ‘Fresh’ for Middle Jewel of Triple Crown After taking Medina Spirit and Concert Tour to the Pimlico track for training Wednesday morning, veteran assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes said he likes what he sees in the high-profile entrants in the Preakness. “I look for both of them to run very well on Saturday,” said Barnes, who is overseeing the training of the colts at Pimlico in the absence of trainer Bob Baffert. Zedan Racing Stable’s Medina Spirit led the way throughout while finishing first in the May 1 Kentucky Derby (G1).

Medina Spirit and Concert Tour shipped from Churchill Downs to Pimlico Race Course by van on Monday. Barnes sent them out to jog a mile Tuesday and stepped up their exercise Wednesday, when they galloped about a mile-and-one-half under Humberto Gomez. Beautiful Gift, the morning-line favorite for Friday’s Black-Eyed Susan (G2) on Friday, had the same routine earlier in the morning. “All three looked beautiful on the track,” Barnes said. “They go over the track very well. It looks like a really good surface here. We’re very happy with that.” Barnes said that Medina Spirit does not appear to be tired from his run in the Kentucky Derby. “It was nothing for him,” Barnes said. “He came out of the other race so well and seemed to be fresh and happy. He’s been fresh and happy the whole time we’ve been here. We’ve had had good weather.
