Casino Drive, the Japanese-trained colt whose bruised foot prevented him from trying to follow in the hoofprints of his two Belmont Stakes (gr. I)-winning siblings, has entered quarantine in Japan as the first step to returning to the United States.

Owner Hidetoshi Yamamoto and trainer Kazuo Fujisawa said on July 14 that their ultimate goal for the undefeated son of Mineshaft this year remains the Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr. I), although he will first have a prep race in California. The Goodwood Stakes (gr. I) over 1 1/8 miles at Santa Anita Park on September 27 is a possibility.
