Good Magic, Rushing Fall set to rejoin Brown soon

Chad Brown will have no shortage of top 3-year-old talent in south Florida this winter, including Breeders’ Cup winners Good Magic (Juvenile) and Rushing Fall (Juvenile Fillies Turf), along with the undefeated and yet untested turf specialist Analyze It.

Brown said both Good Magic and Rushing Fall have been training at Stonestreet Farm in Ocala, while Analyze It is with him at Palm Meadows.

“Good Magic will come in next week, but it’s still too early to say when or where he might run next,” said Brown. “Rushing Fall just started back and probably won’t come in until early January. Her schedule is more straightforward. She ran so well at Keeneland in the Jessamine that I’ve got the Appalachian penciled in for her first start back there this spring.”

Brown said Analyze It probably will remain on turf at 3.

“Analyze It stayed with me in training after returning from Del Mar, although he hasn’t breezed yet,” said Brown. “The plan at the moment is to keep him on turf and try to get to the Belmont Derby in July unless he does something to really change my mind in the morning, and I will give him the opportunity to do that.”

Brown also noted that champion Stellar Wind – who recently joined his barn after changing hands at the Keeneland November sale and is listed as a possible starter for the Pegasus World Cup on Jan. 27 – missed a work last week but is scheduled to breeze at Palm Meadows this weekend.

“She had a minor temperature so I played it safe and didn’t work her last week,” said Brown. “She’s fine, and I feel like I still have time if I’m going to get her [to the Pegasus].”
