Weekend Hideaway trains at Gulfstream on Jan. 20

Barbara D. Livingston Weekend Hideaway, who has been training at Gulfstream since January, could make his 2018 debut soon.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The million-dollar-earning New York-bred Weekend Hideaway is close to making his 8-year-old debut for trainer Phil Serpe.

Weekend Hideaway was entered for the main track in an allowance race at Gulfstream Park on Thursday, but that race remained on the turf so he was scratched.

Serpe said there is an allowance race at Gulfstream on the March 31 Florida Derby Day card that he could run Weekend Hideaway in, or he could look for something in New York in April.

There is an allowance race on April 19 at Aqueduct for which Weekend Hideaway is eligible. There is also the Affirmed Success Stakes on April 27 at Belmont Park. Serpe said his goal is to have Weekend Hideaway ready for a try at a three-peat in the $200,000 Commentator Stakes at Belmont on May 28.

“At 8 years old he’s still turning in good works,” Serpe said Thursday from Florida. “He still looks good.”
