Forever Unbridled drills again for Dubai World Cup

Forever Unbridled worked five furlongs in 1:01.60 on Friday at Fair Grounds as she continues her preparations for the $10 million Dubai World Cup on March 31.

Forever Unbridled, coming off six- and seven-furlong works the last two Fridays, galloped out six furlongs in 1:14.60, trainer Dallas Stewart said.

“She worked great, came out of it great,” Stewart said Friday.

Forever Unbridled, the champion older female of 2017, was ridden by John Velazquez when she won the Breeders’ Cup Distaff in her most recent start, but Velazquez has calls at Gulfstream Park on March 31, including on Holy Bull Stakes winner Audible in the Florida Derby. Stewart said he didn’t yet know who would get the mount on Forever Unbridled in the Dubai World Cup.

◗ Haskell Stakes winner Girvin arrived Wednesday at Fair Grounds and rejoined trainer Joe Sharp’s barn following a winter break. Girvin began breezing a few weeks ago at owner Brad Grady’s Grand Oaks Farm in Florida.
