Richard Pell's Calculator (In Summation), sidelined since scoring a front-running 4 1/4-length victory in the GIII Sham S. last January, continues on the comeback trail for trainer Peter Miller.
“He's doing really well right now,” Miller said. “He's going to breeze his second half-mile this week. So we're still a month or a month and a half away, but so far so good.”
Second behind American Pharoah in last year's GI Del Mar Futurity and GI FrontRunner S., Calculator was knocked off the Triple Crown trail after suffering an undisclosed injury during a work last February. He has worked three times since returning to Miller's San Luis Rey base: going three furlongs Nov. 21 in :38.20 and Dec. 2 in :36.80 before going a half-mile Dec. 9 in :49.60.
“It's too soon to have any spots picked out for him, but I'm very happy with how he is coming back,” Miller said.
