John's Call possible spot for Sadler's Joy

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Trainer Tom Albertrani said Wednesday that plans are up in the air for the popular 8-year-old Sadler’s Joy, whose career earnings are approaching the $2.7 million mark. Sadler’s Joy hasn’t raced since finishing fourth in the Grand Couturier at Belmont in June.
“He’s here at Saratoga and we aren’t quite sure what we’ll do with him next,” said Albertrani. “We might try to get one or two more races out of him, try to find a couple of softer spots, perhaps a race like the John’s Call.
“It looks like he might have lost a step at this point but you’ve got to give him a lot of credit. He still tries hard every time.”
