Dunbar Road on schedule for Beldame

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Dunbar Road, who missed some training time due to a minor issue, will be pointed to the Grade 2, $150,000 Beldame on Oct. 4 at Belmont Park, trainer Chad Brown said.

On Sunday, Dunbar Road put in a solid five-furlong workout in 1:00.92 over Saratoga’s main track. She was under a hold as she got her last quarter in 23.29 seconds and galloped out six furlongs in 1:13.74.

Brown said he shipped Dunbar Road to Belmont Park, where she will continue her training toward the Beldame. Dunbar Road has not run since she won the Grade 2 Delaware Handicap on July 11.

“We’ll give her one prep for the Breeders’ Cup close to home,” Brown said. “She’s training better than ever.”
