Shadwell Stable's undefeated Mohaymen (Tapit) will make his next start in the GII Holy Bull S. Jan. 30, according to trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.
“I like having the uninterrupted training and racing with the weather in Florida, and it's 60 days [from the Remsen]. The timing is great,” McLaughlin said. “He never gets tired. He doesn't blow out a match after works or races. That's something you can't see when you pay $2.2 million for them. His mechanics, his mechanism of breathing and his movements are flawless so far.”
A debut winner at Belmont Sept. 19, the $2.2 million KEESEP co-topper followed that graduation with a victory in Aqueduct's one-mile GII Nashua S. Nov. 4 and handled the stretch out to nine furlongs with aplomb in the GII Remsen S. Nov. 28.
“He always did everything right. He didn't get to us until June 23 because of immature knees,” McLaughlin said of the half-brother to 2013 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner New Year's Day (Street Cry {Ire}). “He needed some extra time and they did a great job with him. Since then he hasn't missed a day and he's improved every day.”
