Trainer Steve Asmussen, he of Rachel Alexandra fame, is readying Friesan Fire, a 3 year-old colt, for 2010. Right now Friesan Fire is training at Fair Grounds.
The colt has been training at three-quarters of a mile, and last Monday, he worked six furlongs in 1:12.6 seconds.
That’s fast.
“He was the favorite for the Kentucky Derby for a reason, is what I’d say about him,” Asmussen said, when asked his opinion of Friesan Fire’s quality.
“He’s got a tremendous amount of talent. He’s a very, very big horse, and he does that [work] easier than the other ones do.”
The horse’s goal this winter is the Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park, on Feb. 6.
We’ll keep a watch on the colt.
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
