Texas Red works one mile between races at Santa Anita

Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) winner Texas Red (Afleet Alex) took to the track

after Santa Anita's 4TH race on Sunday to gear up for his return in the July 4

Dwyer (G2) at Belmont.

Piloted by Hall of Famer Kent Desormeaux for his trainer brother, Keith,

Texas Red worked one mile in company in 1:38 4/5.

Stablemate Salty

Kid (Kiss the Kid), under jockey Fernando Perez, served as the lead horse. Texas

Red settled into rhythm well behind early, but readily gained ground on his

target rounding the far turn. He blew past his company and opened up down the

lane, striding out beautifully while in hand, and continued in good order on the

gallop-out.

Texas Red posted fractions of :25 1/5, :50 1/5, 1:15 1/5 and 1:27 3/5. In

light of that seven-furlong time, he motored his final furlong in :11 1/5.

Last seen missing by a neck in the February 1 San Vicente (G2), Texas Red was

knocked off the Triple Crown trail by a foot abscess.

Earlier Sunday, during morning training hours, Triple Crown king American Pharoah

(Pioneerof the Nile) was back on the track again at Santa Anita.
