According to the Daily Racing Form, Eclipse Award winner Maximum Security will make his first start since February in the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap at Del Mar on July 18.
Bob Baffert, who took over training Maximum Security following the arrest for former trainer Jason Servis for charges related to doping Maximum Security and others, told the From's Steve Andersen the horse “looks fantastic.”
The colt is scheduled to work this weekend in preparation for the race.
Maximum Security was most recently seen in the $20 million Saudi Cup Feb. 29, which he won. Racing officials in Riyadh later announced they were holding the purse in that race pending the results of their own investigation following the arrest of Servis and more than two dozen others. That investigation was said to rely on getting details from FBI and others, which had gathered evidence for the U.S. federal case. That investigation remains active, according to statements by the U.S. Attorney in a status conference earlier this week.
Servis has entered a not guilty plea to the charges against him.
