Disco Partner possible for Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint

Improving his record at Belmont Park this year to a perfect 4-for-4 with a victory in Saturday's Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational, trainer Christophe Clement reported 5-year-old Disco Partner came out of the race in good order. 

"He looked good this morning and came back in good shape," said Clement. "It's very exciting."

Cutting back to six furlongs for the Belmont Sprint after finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Fourstardave on August 12 at Saratoga, Disco Partner once again proved his effectiveness at sprint distances previously setting the world record for six furlongs on the turf in the Grade 3 Jaipur on June 10.

Looking forward, Clement said he would discuss with owners Mr. and Mrs. Generazio on the possibility of entering for the $1 million Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at five furlongs on November 4 at Del Mar, where he could possibly join stablemate Pure Sensation. Owned by the same connections, Pure Sensation won the Grade 3 Turf Monster on September 4 at Parx Racing. 

"It's a possibility that we'll have both Disco Partner and Pure Sensation for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint but I'll have to confirm it with Mr. Generazio," said Clement. 

Making his first start since winning the Grade 3 Kent Stakes on July 15 at Parx, Clement also reported 3-year-old Frostmourne exited the Grade 3 Hill Prince in good order after finishing fourth. 

"I think he ran a winning race, it just looked like in the last 50 yards he got a bit tired to me," said Clement.
