Governor Malibu, the second-place finisher in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy on July 29, breezed five furlongs in 1:01.84 Friday morning on Saratoga's dirt track in preparation for the Grade 1, $1.25 million Travers on August 27.
"He breezed well. Everything looks good," trainer Christophe Clement said. "Obviously the Travers is the main goal, so we'll see as it gets closer."
After finishing fourth in the Belmont Stakes on June 11, the son of Malibu Moon will be looking for his first Grade 1 stakes victory in his 10th career start. The Jump Sucker Stable and Oak Bluff Stables-owned New York-bred enters with one win and three seconds this season.
