Gunnevera (Dialed In) and Three Rules (Gone Astray) spent the final morning of their respective freshman seasons working out Saturday for scheduled 3-year-old debuts at Gulfstream Park Feb. 4.
Gunnevera, working for the first time since capturing the GIII Delta Downs Jackpot S. Nov. 19, breezed a bullet five furlongs in :59.85 (1/29) at Gulfstream Park West, while Three Rules was timed in :47.20 (1/157) for a half-mile breeze at Gulfstream Park. The latter, a four-time stakes winner, suffered his first career defeat when sixth in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Nov. 5.
Gunnevera is slated to start his 3-year-old campaign in the GII Holy Bull S. “He worked excellent,” trainer Antonio Sano. “The horse is getting bigger and stronger. The horse is a relaxed horse, very quiet, all the time. I'm very hopeful.”
Three Rules is expected to run in either the 1 1/16-mile Holy Bull or the GII Swale S. at seven furlongs. “He worked great this morning,” trainer Jose Pinchin said. “He's doing very well. We're happy with how he's doing. He looks good. He's fit. The time off helped him.”
