Mr. Money, after brief illness, returns to training
Barbara D. Livingston Mr. Money returned to training on Tuesday.
Mr. Money had to be scratched from the Lecomte Stakes last Saturday after getting sick the day before, but the colt, fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile making his final start at 2, returned to training Tuesday, trainer Bret Calhoun said Wednesday.
“He’s much better,” Calhoun said. “He missed three days of training. His temperature went back to normal quickly.”
Calhoun said he planned to do follow-up bloodwork Thursday, and if the tests return normal results Mr. Money can return to more serious exercise. Mr. Money ran in the BC Juvenile immediately after a maiden win, so Calhoun has the option of starting him in a first-level allowance race rather than a stakes.
