Klaravich Stable's multiple graded stakes winner Separationofpowers has emerged from her neck victory in Saturday's Grade 1 Test in fine fettle, said trainer Chad Brown, who added that the connections will take their time deciding her next assignment.
"I was really pleased with her performance," said Brown said of the 3-year-old Candy Ride filly. "She ran super and she showed a lot of heart through the stretch. [We] still have no plans for her as of yet going forward, but she's exited in good order."
Brown also lauded the efforts of Uni and Precieuse, who finished first and second, respectively, in Saturday's Fasig-Tipton De La Rose.
"They both ran terrific," said Brown. Uni was in a perfect position and she wasn't going to be a loser there. Precieuse had been off for 13 months and really ran a great race and hopefully she's on to bigger and better things."
Brown said Backyard Heaven is no worse for wear following his seventh-place finish in Saturday's Grade 1 Whitney and noted that the 4-year-old Tiznow colt didn't seem able to put in his top effort over the sloppy and sealed track that resulted from a late deluge of rain in the afternoon.
"He came out of the race fine so far," said Brown. "He just didn't handle the track, which is disappointing. Two starts in a row where it wasn't the best conditions to try to run in. That being said, the winner was ultra-impressive. We'll just regroup with our horse."
With a warm and rain-free Monday morning, Robert Bruce and Almanaar breezed four furlongs in 49 seconds on Oklahoma turf course Monday morning. Brown said the duo are on point for Saturday's Grade 1 Arlington Million.

"The weather forced me to just stretch their legs five days out, but they will join Money Multiplier in the Million," he said.
Made You Look, who is looking to improve off a second-place finish in the Grade 3 Poker June 17 at Belmont, is expected to enter Saturday's Grade 1 Fourstardave Handicap. The 4-year-old colt More Than Ready posted his final workout in preparation for the race Friday, breezing four furlongs on 48.71 seconds on the Oklahoma training track.
"He's doing well," said Brown. "It's a big step up for him. It's a tough race, but the horse is training super. I thought he ran a great race the last time out and it's worth a shot. It's a great purse in a Grade 1 race at Saratoga and the horse seems to be improving."
