Leave the Light On works five furlongs

Several of the area’s top 3-year-old prospects skipped the Holy Bull to await the Fountain of Youth, among them Remsen Stakes winner Leave the Light On, who worked five furlongs in 1:00.80 Sunday at Palm Meadows for trainer Chad Brown.

“He’s doing good,” Brown said. “He’s had three works now since coming to south Florida, and so far, so good.”

Brown also reported that Bobby’s Kitten, his Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner, has been stopped on and sent back to owner-breeder Ken and Sarah Ramsey’s farm in Kentucky.

“I sent him back to the farm for a little break,” Brown said. “I wasn’t really happy with the way he was training. I think that last race might have been a little hard on him. We’ve done some tests on him, and luckily, everything’s come back clean. But he’s just telling me he needs a little bit of time, so we’re going to give it to him. He’s earned it. And look at the big picture – hopefully, we’ll be able to have him back by the summer.”
