Trainer Todd Pletcher is pointing a pair of Grade 1 winners to the first major race for older horses in the country, the Grade 1 Donn Handicap on February 7 at Gulfstream Park.

Leading trainer at Gulfstream's Championship meet for 11 consecutive years, Pletcher is looking at the 1 1/8-mile Donn for both Constitution, hero of the Florida Derby in March, and Arkansas Derby winner Danza.

"Right now, Constitution is pointing for the Donn. The question is, do we run him in between," Pletcher said. "I don't know yet. We might just train him up to the Donn. He came out of his last race very well. We know he likes Gulfstream, and I think this track will carry him a little more than Churchill Downs sometimes does."

Owned by Twin Creeks Racing Stables and WinStar Farm, Constitution won the first three starts of his career at Gulfstream including the Florida Derby in his stakes debut. But he exited the latter with an injury and did not race again until finishing fourth in an allowance/optional claiming event at Belmont Park on October 12.

"Javier was very comfortable with the way he handled the first turn (in the Clark)," Pletcher said. "Javier felt like he was more relaxed than I did watching it, but down the backside he settled pretty well and I thought he ran a big race. He's just getting back into form. It was only his second start since the Florida Derby and only his fifth lifetime start."

Danza, meanwhile, has not raced since running a strong third in the May 3 Kentucky Derby, only three lengths behind Horse of the Year contender California Chrome. The sophomore son of Street Boss shocked the Arkansas Derby at odds of 41-1, coming out of a third-place finish in a seven-furlong allowance/optional claiming race at Gulfstream.

"He came out of the Derby and he was wiped out," Pletcher said. "He broke out in a skin disease from head to toe and lost some weight, and we decided to just stop on him and point for the Donn and work our way back. We'll see."

Among his promising juveniles, Pletcher said undefeated Hopeful winner Competitive Edge is training with his string at Palm Beach Downs while Breeders' Futurity winner and Breeders' Cup Juvenile runner-up Carpe Diem and Champagne winner Daredevil are both on the farm at WinStar.
