Delaware Park
Normandy Invasion back in training
Barbara D. Livingston Normandy Invasion might return to racing in the fall.
Normandy Invasion has recovered from the lung infection he came down with following his 10th-place finish in the Met Mile on June 7 and is back in training at Delaware Park, according to owner Rick Porter.
Normandy Invasion was transferred to trainer Larry Jones following the Met Mile. He may return to the races this fall.
“We’re not going to make a lot of noise with him this year,” Porter said. “Maybe race him a few times at the end of the year, but nothing big. We are looking to 2015 with him. He has a lot of talent.”
Normandy Invasion, 4, is 2 for 9 in his career. He finished second in the New Orleans Handicap this year, the Wood Memorial in 2013, and in the Remsen as a 2-year-old.
