Runhappy works for King's Bishop
Courtesy of Maria Borell Trainer Maria Borell (standing) says if Runhappy runs well in Friday's allowance sprint he will be pointed to a stakes.
Runhappy, the 3-year-old Super Saver colt with a 3-for-4 record and a sizable following, took another step toward the King’s Bishop Stakes when drilling six furlongs Tuesday in 1:12.40 at the Thoroughbred Center training facility in Lexington, Ky.
Runhappy will be ridden by Edgar Prado in the Grade 1 King’s Bishop on the Aug. 29 Travers Stakes undercard at Saratoga. The colt was an easy winner of a July 31 allowance at Ellis Park in his most recent start for owner Jim “Mattress Mac” McIngvale and trainer Maria Borell.
