Summer Front to ship back to California

Summer Front, second in his last two trips to Southern California, is headed west again, this time pointing to the Grade 1, $300,000 Eddie Read Stakes on July 20 at Del Mar.
Last month, Summer Front shipped to California, where he finished second to Obviously in the Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile. Last November, Summer Front shipped to Southern California and finished second, beaten a nose by Silentio in the Grade 2 Citation.
Trainer Christophe Clement planned to work Summer Front on Sunday at Belmont.
“As long as he works okay, we’ll go back out for the Eddie Read,” Clement said.
Za Approval, second to Wise Dan in the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile last fall, will head to Woodbine for next Saturday’s Grade 2,$200,000 Nijinsky Stakes, Clement said.
Clement said he is giving the Monmouth Stakes winner Speaking of Which “a small summer break” and plans to bring him back to the races in the fall.
