Wolfson in no rush with 105 Beyer debut winner

Trainer Marty Wolfson says he has no intention of rushing his sensational debut winner Atreides back following his 5 1/4-length debut win last Saturday, for which he earned a 105 Beyer Speed Figure. The performance was one of the best turned in by a first-time starter at Gulfstream Park, winter or summer, in quite some time.

Atreides, 3, is a Stonestreet homebred and a full brother to Grade 1 winner Dreaming of Julia, who won the Gulfstream Park Oaks by 21 3/4 lengths during the winter of 2013. Atreides’s final time of 1:08.69 for six furlongs fell just 0.57 seconds shy of equaling Big Drama’s course record.

“I don’t think I was expecting him to run 1:08-and-change, but I expected him to run big," said Wolfson, who watched the race from Delaware Park where he saddled Gamay Noir in Saturday’s Delaware Handicap. "He was working really well.”

Wolfson said Atreides came out of the race in good order, but he has nothing picked out for his next start.

Social Inclusion shipping Tuesday

Trainer Manny Azpurua said Social Inclusion would ship to Monmouth Park next Tuesday to compete in the Grade 1, $1 million Haskell on July 27.

Social Inclusion worked four furlongs in 45.65 at Gulfstream on Wednesday. The 85-year-old Azpurua said Social Inclusion came out of his work well. He also proclaimed that his speedy 3-year-old is over the gate issues that plagued him earlier this year in the Wood and Preakness and forced him to school extensively at the gate prior to his third-place finish in the Grade 2 Woody Stephens at Belmont.

“We’ve taken it easy with him since he returned from New York, and now the rider says he’s a different horse,” said Azpurua. “He’s a quieter horse, the horse he’s supposed to be.”

Azpurua said Social Inclusion would not return immediately to Gulfstream, but will be shipped to Saratoga following his start in the Haskell.

* Post time at Gulfstream, beginning Friday, will be advanced 10 minutes to 1:15 p.m daily.
