Spun to Run getting a break

Spun to Run, the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner who was scratched out of the $3 million Pegasus World Cup on Jan. 25, is at Dr. Patty Hogan’s Fair Winds Farm in New Jersey getting some time off, owner Bob Donaldson said Wednesday.

“When I get concerned about a horse I send them to Patty,” Donaldson said. “He could use some home-cooking for a while, get his coat back, get him looking like the champion he is.”

Trainer Juan Carlos Guerrero said Spun to Run is still dealing with a little bit of skin disease.

Donaldson said that he would let Hogan tell him when Spun to Run is ready to return to the track. Donaldson said he was hopeful of being able to make the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap on June 6 at Belmont.

“When Patty tells me he’s ready to go, we’ll see what the time frame is, where we are,” Donaldson said. “I’d probably say the Met Mile is a pretty good goal.
