Frac Daddy and Dewey Square, the second- and third-place finishers in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (gr. II) last November, both breezed five-eighths of a mile this morning at Gulfstream Park in preparation for their respective seasonal debuts.
Dewey Square, a son of Bernardini, clocked the slightly faster time, getting the distance in 1:01.42 seconds. Trained by Dale Romans, no definite next-race plans have been announced for Dewey Square at this point, although the Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III) at the end of this month is an option.
Frac Daddy recorded a time of 1:01.63. A son of Scat Daddy, the Kenny McPeek-trainee is pointing toward a start in the Fountain of Youth (gr. II) on February 23rd, but may run somewhere before then.
The long-range goal for both colts is, of course, the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) on May 4th at Churchill Downs.
