Mossarosa's Giuseppe the Great returned from Saturday's Grade 1 Travers in good shape, and could run in the Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby on September 23 at Parx, Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito said Monday.
"Maybe the Pennsylvania Derby," Zito said. "[It's] straight 3-year olds again; a lot of money. He certainly belongs with them. We watched the race; you break that sharp, well, what are you going to do? He was a longshot. Obviously, there's a reason for everything, but he ran terrific."
The Lookin At Lucky colt finished sixth in the Travers after closing to place second in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy after removing the blinkers for the first time. Giuseppe the Great is still in search of his first graded stakes victory and was the runner-up in the Grade 2 Woody Stephens before running fourth in the Grade 3 Dwyer.
