Unbeaten Knightsbridge back in training

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The 3-year-old Knightsbridge, who has won his first two starts by a combined 19 1/2 lengths, has recently returned to trainer Bill Mott’s Saratoga barn and is in light training for a potential fall campaign.

Knightsbridge was turned out for more than 60 days after suffering from a maladaptive bone disease, commonly referred to as bone bruising.

Mott said Knightsbridge is just jogging at the current time and there is no set timetable for his potential return.

Knightsbridge, a son of Nyquist and a half-brother to the Grade 1 winner Speaker’s Corner, won his debut at Aqueduct by 10 1/2 lengths last Nov. 4. In his lone start since, Knightsbridge won a first-level allowance at Gulfstream Park on March 28 by nine lengths. He was preparing for the Grade 2 Pat Day Mile at Churchill Downs on Derby Day but was stopped on due to the bone bruising.

Knightsbridge was seen jogging Thursday morning under Hall of Fame rider Julie Krone, who is the subject of a documentary that is being filmed.
