Sunland Park Derby winner Wild On Ice is scheduled to have his first work since that victory on Friday, trainer Joel Marr said Tuesday.
The drill will come at the horse's base of Sunland Park, which wrapped up its meet Sunday. Marr said no decision has been made on whether Wild On Ice will advance to the Kentucky Derby.
“He’s doing well,” Marr said. “We’re planning on a little breeze on Friday. We’re going to determine what’s going on after that. We have a possible flight on Sunday, so we’ll just see how it goes and how he comes back.”
Marr said the flight to Kentucky is also in place for Flying Connection, the Todd Fincher trainee who captured the Sunland Park Oaks. Fincher said last week she is being pointed for the Kentucky Oaks.
Wild On Ice sits 10th on the current Kentucky Derby points list with 50. The horse was made eligible for the Triple Crown by the deadline for late nominees on March 27, which came a day after Wild On Ice won the Sunland Derby. The son of Tapizar races for his breeder, Frank Sumpter.
