Last year's Dubai World Cup winner, the Godolphin homebred Mystic Guide, has resumed galloping at Keeneland under the watchful eye of Godolphin trainer Johnny Burke, according to bloodhorse.com.
The 5-year-old son of Ghostzapper last raced in July of 2021, finishing second in the G2 Suburban Stakes, before heading to the sidelines for a surgery to remove some bone chips. Mystic Guide resumed breezing at the Fair Grounds in December, but went back to Kentucky when trainer Mike Stidham wasn't satisfied with those early workouts.
“Mystic Guide is doing well,” Stidham told bloodhorse.com. “We started him back but had to pause because we weren't quite pleased with how he came out of those first few works. So we sent him back to Kentucky, let Dr. (Larry) Bramlage (at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital) do a thorough check of him and he said he needed a little more time.”
Bred in Kentucky out of the millionaire, multiple Grade 1 -winning A.P. Indy mare Music Note, Mystic Guide has compiled a record of 4-3-2 from nine starts with earnings of $7,593,200.
Stidham will resume the daily training of Mystic Guide when his stable returns to Keeneland in a few weeks' time, and the trainer suggested he could be targeting the summer races at Saratoga.
