Magical Ways - Nice Work But Won't Run Friday

We got a report on Magical Ways this morning that had some good news and some not-so-good (but not bad) news.

Magical Ways breezed five furlongs in company yesterday with Mooney Love at Belmont. He stopped the clock in 1:01.07, and assistant trainer Leana Willaford was extremely happy with Magical Ways’ effort and is looking forward to his debut after this move. 

But, unfortunately, the 1 1/8th-mile Maiden Special Weight he was aimed for on Friday, October 21st, did not fill (meaning their weren't enough entries to run it) so that option is off the table. 

The Mott barn’s focus has now shifted to a 6 ½ -furlong Maiden Special Weight three weeks later, on November 11th. Trainer Bill Mott feels that with the extra time until this new target, Magical Ways will be sharp and ready to sprint. (The difference is 2.5 furlongs shorter or 3/16ths of a mile less distance.)

We'll keep you updated as Magical Way's debut approaches.
