Sunday tab: Arabian Knight leads 40 graded-stakes winners
Arabian Knight hasn’t raced since finishing fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, and he hasn’t won since the Pacific Classic in September.
No word on when he will make his next start, but he has been working steadily since April for trainer Bob Baffert. And on Sunday he went five furlongs in a bullet 59.2 seconds.
The 4-year-old Uncle Mo colt won his only start as a 2-year-old then had four starts last year, with a win in the Southwest (G3) and a third in the Haskell (G1).
