Castle Chaos has first work since foot injury

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Castle Chaos, third in last year’s Cigar Mile and second in this year’s Carter, returned to the work tab Friday morning, breezing a half-mile in 50.38 seconds over the Belmont Park training track. It was his first breeze since he finished last of seven in an allowance race at Saratoga.

Trainer Robert Falcone Jr. noted that in that race Castle Chaos stumbled at the start and injured part of his foot, known as a grabbed quarter, and was given ample time off.

“Our plan was to give him a little break and when he grabbed his quarter pretty good we decided to let everything heal up and not rush him back,” Falcone said.

Falcone said Castle Chaos would stay in New York for the winter.
