L and N Racing LLC's Grade 1 Kentucky Derby runner-up Lookin At Lee continues to please his connections. The consistent Steve Asmussen trainee, third last out in the Grade 3 West Virginia Derby on August 5, will have his final breeze for the Travers on Monday around 6 a.m.
"He's good right now," said Scott Blasi, longtime top assistant to Asmussen. "He's here at Saratoga and will breeze Monday in the second set, right after Gun Runner."
In 13 lifetime starts, the deep-closing son of champion Lookin At Lucky has a mere pair of victories, but has finished fourth or better in five Grade 1 events, including the Preakness Stakes and Breeders' Cup Juvenile. His last breeze on Monday, August 14, was an easy half-mile over the Oklahoma training track in 51.40 seconds.
Stable star Gun Runner, a rousing victor in the Grade 1 Whitney on August 5 last out for owners Winchell Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys Farm, remains on target for a probable run in the Grade 1 Woodward on September 2.
