Watch: Sovereignty Back On Work Tab With Easy Half Mile
Watch: Sovereignty Back On Work Tab With Easy Half Mile originally appeared on Paulick Report.
Three-year-old divisional leader Sovereignty was back on the work tab June 27 at Saratoga, his first official workout since the son of Into Mischief won the Belmont Stakes. Officially, the Godolphin homebred covered a half-mile over the Oklahoma training track in 50.85 seconds, according to Equibase records.
'The track looks very slow, but he looked fine, that's all that really matters,' Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott told the Daily Racing Form after the work. 'I was looking for 49, but given the track, that's probably what it was. He's doing fine. It's just his first work back.'

Following his wins in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes—connections opted to skip the Preakness, negating a Triple Crown bid—Sovereignty will be pointed to the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga on July 26. Mott hopes to use that spot as a prep race for the G1 Travers four weeks later.
