Trinniberg takes to sloppy track for Juvenile Sprint move Shivananda Parbhoo's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint candidate Trinniberg worked a half-mile over sloppy going in :48 1/5 after the renovation break on a cold and rainy Thursday morning at Churchill Downs. Working in company with four-year-old stablemate Butler Cabin and outfitted in blinkers as is his norm, Trinniberg posted fractions of :12 1/5, :24 2/5 and :36 1/5 while galloping out five furlongs in 1:03 2/5, finishing two lengths in front of his stablemate. The half-mile move was the fastest of 22 at the distance. "It was a good little work and I got him to relax," said Willie Martinez, who was aboard for the move. "He's got natural speed and is extremely quick. At the top of the lane, when I asked him, he responded." Trinniberg has shown an affinity for off-tracks, having run two of his four races on tracks rated sloppy and one on a track labeled good. "That's why we had no problem working him today, because we know he loves it," Parbhoo said of Trinniberg, who finished second in the Grade 1 Hopeful on a sloppy track. "I thought he breezed well this morning." Trinniberg would have to be supplemented at a cost of $100,000 for the Breeders' Cup when pre-entries close on Monday. "We'll see how he is tomorrow," Parbhoo said. "I would have no hesitation in writing the check. I love the game. But, he has already paid his way (with runner-up finishes in the Grade 2 Nashua and Hopeful)." Parbhoo said the son of Teuflesberg would have a three-furlong work out of the gate next Thursday. Parbhoo's other Breeders' Cup candidate, sprinter Giant Ryan, will return to the track Friday morning after working three furlongs on a track labeled wet-fast in :39 1/5 on Wednesday. "I am happy we worked him yesterday," said Parbhoo, who initially planed to work Giant Ryan this morning. "He is fine today and his next work will be Thursday, but it could be Wednesday or Friday depending on weather."
