Multiple Grade I winner Golden Tempo (Curlin) will skip the GII Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga and will train up to the GI Travers Stakes after coming down with a minor illness, trainer Cherie DeVaux announced during a FanDuel interview Saturday.Speaking to Caton Bredar at Churchill Downs, DeVaux mentioned that the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes hero was 'doing fine' but that the timeline just would not work out for him to make the Jim Dandy.“He got a little sick, so we're probably going to end up skipping the Jim Dandy, and train right into the Travers,” DeVaux told Bredar during the interview. “He's fine, but the timeline just isn't going to suit us to get there, and we'll just continue doing what got us here and put him first.”DeVaux explained that Golden Tempo would miss about 10 days of training, and that, while the extra time between races wasn't ideal, her confidence in her charge would not wane with him coming into the Travers off a layoff.“[The extra time] wasn't really by design, but it's the hand that we've been dealt, and I have all the confidence in Golden Tempo's abilities,” DeVaux continued in the interview. “It's just up to us and our team to really get him there, and have him ready to go.”The connections were in town to get their first look at the Kentucky Derby Museum's Winner's Circle exhibit during a private tour. It centers around the historic Derby victory with new artifacts and multimedia updates throughout the museum, including a replica horse transformed into Golden Tempo's likeness, his halter, and the red blazer worn by DeVaux that afternoon as well as her custom shoes.“Walking through the museum has really brought, I think all of us, back to a [few] weeks ago where Golden Tempo won the Derby,” DeVaux said in a release from the Museum. “It's been a really busy [few] weeks since, so I've been looking forward to coming here and just letting it all sink in.”The post Golden Tempo to Skip Jim Dandy, Will Train Up to Travers appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
