Grupo Seven C Stable's Jesus' Team, third in the Preakness (G1) in his most recent start, has set up shop at Keeneland to prepare for a run in the $1 million Big Ass Fans Dirt Mile (G1) on Nov. 7.
“He came in early to get to know the track and acclimate,” trainer Jose D'Angelo said via text from his base at Palm Meadows Training Center in South Florida, where he has 17 horses. “He is going to breeze on the 24th and 31st and I will arrive the 22nd.”
Jesus' Team, who was third in the Jim Dandy (G2) and fourth in the Haskell Invitational (G1) prior to his Preakness run, would represent the first Breeders' Cup starter for D'Angelo, a 30-year-old native of Venezuela who began training in 2012 in his native country.
D'Angelo made the move to the U.S. in 2019 and won his first race here with his third starter in June 2019.
