Unbridled Forever training strongly for Alabama

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Trainer Dallas Stewart loves the way Unbridled Forever has trained since her runner-up finish to Stopchargingmaria in the Coaching Club American Oaks, and that includes the way she breezed Friday morning, going five furlongs in 1:00.46 over Saratoga’s main track.
Unbridled Forever went her first three furlongs in 35.75 seconds and got her final quarter in 24.71, according to Daily Racing Form ’s Mike Welsch, who caught her galloping out six furlongs in 1:14.94.
“I love the way she’s trained leading up to the work today,” Stewart said. “She’s had nice, solid days, she’s put on weight. I’ve really liked that about her. Her hair coat’s phenomenal, appetite’s good, legs are solid, and the work was just a crisp minute. She came home good.”
In addition to finishing second in the Coaching Club, Unbridled Forever has third-place finishes in the Kentucky Oaks, Acorn, and Fair Grounds Oaks.
Stewart said Rosie Napravnik will ride Unbridled Forever in the Alabama Stakes next Saturday because Joel Rosario will be at Arlington Park that day to ride. Rosario has ridden Unbridled Forever in her last two starts.
Others pointing to the Alabama include America, Fortune Pearl, Got Lucky, Miss Besilu, and Stopchargingmaria.
