The Green Monkey Getting Closer
The Green Monkey, the record $16-million colt, was on Saratoga's Wednesday work tab, breezing five furlongs in 1:03 2/5.
"He worked well. He's getting closer," trainer Todd Pletcher said. "Each work gets us closer."
No other horse on the Saratoga grounds is being this closely watched. Pletcher is having every move measured with this horse and he's never even raced yet. Anything short of a Derby victory next May will prompt second guessing about the regimen. I wonder is Patrick Biancone quietly let go a sigh or relief when he learned that Tabor handed this one off to Pletcher.
