Wynn Time will get some time off

Wynn Time gutted out a third win of the Fair Grounds meet when he captured the Duncan Kenner Stakes on Saturday, but the Illinois-bred gelding is not in peak physical condition and will get some time off, trainer Hugh Robertson said.

Wynn Time went from a productive run last season at Fair Grounds to race competitively in Oaklawn Park stakes races, but Robertson said the gelding will miss Oaklawn this year.

“He’s had three hard races in a row,” Robertson said. “I think I’ll give him some time and run him back in two or three months.”

Wynn Time won the Thanksgiving Handicap making his first start in seven months, and subsequently won his turf debut in the Bonapaw Stakes. He won the Kenner by a neck over Control Stake while racing into a fierce headwind down the backstretch, just lasting over the closing runner-up while drifting out.
