Destin continued his normal training schedule ahead of the Travers as he galloped on Monday morning, trainer Todd Pletcher said. Destin's last official workout before the Mid-Summer Derby was Friday when he breezed four furlongs in 50 seconds flat on the Oklahoma track.
"He had a good gallop and seems to be in good spirits," Pletcher said. "I'll probably paddock school him on Wednesday. It's just a routine week."
Curalina is still "all systems go" for the Grade 1, $750,000 Personal Ensign on Saturday. Pletcher said the daughter of Curlin, who won the Grade 3 Shuvee last out on July 31 at the Spa, also came out of a routine gallop in good order as she prepares for the 1 1/8-mile "Win and You're In" race that carries an automatic berth in the Breeders' Cup Distaff Division for the winner.
Comfort is set to work this week as Pletcher determines if he will run in the Grade 1, $600,000 Woodward on September 3.
"I'm leaning towards a Wednesday breeze if the weather cooperates, and from there we'll make a decision about the Woodward," he said.
