Clement eyes Peter Pan for Tonalist
Barbara D. Livingston Trainer Christophe Clement skipped the Wood Memorial with Tonalist because he was not pleased by a workout.
Tonalist, second in a Gulfstream allowance race that produced Florida Derby winner Constitution and Wood Memorial winner Wicked Strong, is being pointed to the Grade 2, $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes, trainer Christophe Clement said.
Clement decided to keep Tonalist out of the April 5 Wood Memorial because he wasn’t happy with the colt’s last workout before the race. Clement said Tonalist remains at Payson Park in Florida.
“He’s training every day. We’ll breeze him in the coming week and go from there,” Clement said. “Do we train him to the Peter Pan or run him before that? I need to work him before making that decision.”
