Knicks Go trains at Saratoga Race Course on Aug. 27

Barbara D. Livingston Knicks Go works a half-mile and galloped out five furlongs over the Oklahoma training track on Friday.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Knicks Go, winner of the Grade 1 Whitney here Aug. 7, returned to the work tab Friday morning, breezing a half-mile in 49.15 seconds over the Oklahoma training track.

Daily Racing Form clocker Donald Harris caught Knicks Go in splits of 12 and 36.20, and had him galloping out in 1:01.71.

“As good a move as I’ve ever seen from him,” trainer Brad Cox said. “He’s really doing well. He’s really bounced out of the Whitney in great shape.”

Knicks Go will likely have one more work at Saratoga before shipping to Churchill Downs the second week of September. Cox said last week that he was targeting the Grade 3, $400,000 Lukas Classic on Oct. 2 at Churchill Downs as Knick’s Go’s next race leading to the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 6 at Del Mar.
