Idle since winning the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 8, trainer Tim Yakteen's Practical Move returned to action in a big way on Friday at Santa Anita, as he waltzed to a four-length victory in a one mile classified allowance, getting the trip under Ramon Vazquez in 1:35.14.
Yakteen told the Daily Racing Form on Sunday that no decision has been made as to which Breeders' Cup race the 3-year-old would target. On the table are both the 1 1/4-mile Classic and the Dirt Mile.
“We'll see how the puzzle comes up,” Yakteen told DRF. “It's a long four weeks.”
By the Into Mischief stallion Practical Joke out of the Afleet Alex mare Ack Naughty, Practical Move, who was bred in Kentucky by Chad Brown and Head of Plains Partners, now has five wins from eight starts. With Friday's winner's share of $39,000 from total purse money of $65,000, Practical Move now has earnings of $923,200.
