Default There is money in NY also

so I don't think that is the reason, what I question is where does Trombetta winter?

Maybe Trombetta is sick of the cold and he wants to work on his tan in Cali and will ship out there and stay there for a while

If I had to guess, they are seeing what is under the hood right now and possibly take a chance in the Cigar Mile, then some stake race at Calder and then get ready for the older horse races at Gulfstream/Oaklawn/Fairgrounds, my guess though, and I don't know that much...

I'm glad to see this one back. I was beginning to wonder if he was going to come back...

I really hope they don't run this one on those death runways out west. Probably best to save him for GP and maybe make a run at The Donn.

Especially if he has problems with his feet, which I think Trombetta said once

I didn't doubt he'd come back. He's gelded and he's been working pretty consistently in the last month or so.

I'm sick of the cold already, and its October.

I went to the Met game last night and luckily it was really nice out. Tonight they will freeze their ass off.

Sweetnorthernsaint entered at Laurel
By DAVID GRENING
Sweetnorthernsaint, who finished seventh as the favorite in the Kentucky Derby, will return to the races next Thursday in a third-level allowance race at Laurel Park. The seven-furlong race will be Sweetnorthernsaint's first start since he finished second to Bernardini in the Preakness on May 20. Sweetnorthernsaint drew post 4 in an eight-horse field and will be ridden by Ramon Dominguez.
Following the Preakness, trainer Michael Trombetta gave Sweetnorthernsaint 60 days off before returning him to training at Laurel in early August. Sweetnorthernsaint, owned by Joseph Balsamo and Ted Theos, has worked several times at Laurel, including a six-furlong move in 1:11.60 on Tuesday.

"I wanted to try and get a race back under him at our home track before the logical thing happened that you wind up having to travel," Trombetta said. "He's been training good here. His last work he turned in a pretty solid one, so it's time to go ahead and run."

Sweetnorthernsaint won the Illinois Derby by 9 1/4 lengths in April, a performance that eventually sent him off as the lukewarm 5-1 favorite in the Kentucky Derby. Sweetnorthernsaint didn't have the best of trips in the Derby finishing seventh, 13 lengths behind Barbaro. He came back two weeks later and got caught in an early speed duel before being swallowed by Bernardini in the stretch.

Trombetta said he has no specific goal in mind for Sweetnorthernsaint this fall.

"To be very honest with you, I haven't looked a day past Oct. 19," Trombetta said. "I just want to get back to the groove and get him back to the races."
