Phipps-bred Pentathlon Looks to Graduate

Phipps Stable-bred colt Pentathlon is seeking his maiden win on Friday, June 7 in Saratoga Race 1, a seven-furlong maiden special weight on the dirt for ages three years and older.

The Phipps Stable-bred three-year-old colt is ending an eight-month layoff after finishing third at Aqueduct last time out.

He ran a four-furlong bullet on the Belmont dirt training track on May 20 in 47.68 seconds, the fastest of 46 workouts that morning.

In training with Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey, he will be ridden by jockey Joel Rosario who was aboard the family’s Kentucky Derby winner Orb.

Breaking from post № 3 in a field of 10, the well-bred Speightstown filly out of Tapit mare Parade is owned in partnership by Phipps Stable, St. Elias Stable and Woodford Racing LLC.

Post time is 12:20 pm Eastern.
