Multiple graded-stakes winner Gunnevera, un-raced since finishing third in the 2019 Dubai World Cup (G1), is back in South Florida with trainer Antonio Sano.
A winner of more than $5.5 million along with a second-place finish in the 2018 Breeders’ Cup Classic, Gunnevera has worked twice for Sano at Gulfstream Park West. The 6-year-old son of Dialed In breezed four furlongs Saturday in :49.20.
Gunnevera had been sidelined with a fracture in his left hind leg last summer.
“He’s worked very good…very, very good,” said Sano, who saddled Gunnevera to victory in the 2017 Fountain of Youth (G2). “He’s worked the last two weeks. Everything has gone well. Saturday we will breeze him five furlongs.
"We will get him ready, run maybe April here, and then maybe go to Saratoga.”
Gunnevera captured his first graded stakes win as a juvenile when he took the Saratoga Special (G2). Later that season he added the Delta Downs Jackpot (G3). At age 3, in addition to winning the Fountain of Youth, Gunnevera finished second in the Travers (G1) and Holy Bull (G2) and was third in the Florida Derby (G1).
As a 4-year-old, Gunnevera finished second in the Breeders' Cup Classic and Woodward (G1) and was third in the Pegasus World Cup (G1).
