Summer Revolution most likely to run in King's Bishop

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Summer Revolution, whose stock has risen quickly in the 3-year-old division after a pair of impressive victories to launch his career, was given the opportunity to stretch his legs a little Wednesday morning, breezing an easy-as-can-be half-mile in 50.87 seconds over Saratoga’s main track with trainer Rudy Rodriguez aboard.

Summer Revolution, a son of Summer Bird, won his first two starts by a combined 10 1/4 lengths. He earned a 104 Beyer Speed Figure easily handling first-level allowance opposition by three lengths, going seven furlongs here Aug. 6.

“Just a little maintenance breeze this morning,” Rodriguez said. “I don’t want him to get too sharp. He went nice and easy and comfortable. So far, so good.”

Rodriguez and owner Jeff Drown are still in the process of deciding whether to bring Summer Revolution back in the seven-furlong King’s Bishop or the 1 1/4-mile Travers, both races are scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 27.

“We’re still talking it over,” Rodriguez said. “At this point, the King’s Bishop would be the most likely spot.”
