Disco Partner may not be done this year

Disco Partner, third in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint for the second year, may make another start this year, trainer Christophe Clement said Monday.

Clement said he would talk to owners Frank and Patricia Generazio about running Disco Partner back in the $125,000 Aqueduct Turf Sprint Championship on Nov. 24 or possibly taking a big swing in the Group 1, $2.5 million Hong Kong Sprint on Dec. 9 at Sha Tin.

Disco Partner arrived back at Belmont on Monday morning after a van ride from Kentucky and “he looks very well,” Clement said.

Clement said Joel Rosario told him Disco Partner wasn’t handling the yielding turf at Churchill Downs early on in the race.

“He’s a horse that shows good speed and Rosario said he was spinning his wheels,” Clement said. “By the time he found his rhythm the race was over.”

On Sunday, Clement ran two horses at Santa Anita with Have At It finishing second in the Grade 2 Twilight Derby and Lull finishing fourth in the Grade 2 Goldikova Stakes.

Clement said Have At It, who won the Grade 2 Hill Prince at Belmont in October, could be considered for the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar on Dec. 1.

Lull will be retired, Clement said. With her fourth-place finish, she surpassed the $1 million mark in career earnings ($1,005,562). She has a record of 5-3-4 from 17 starts.
