Seize the Grey has remained in good order since returning to Churchill Downs. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas says your colt is full of himself at the moment and seems to have bounced out of the Belmont Stakes as well as he seemed to have gone in. The scratches that he sustained in the early part of the race were superficial and healed up quickly.
We also talked to Lukas about optimal distances moving forward and he was quite confident that anything between a mile and mile and a quarter fits him well. He does not believe his less then optimal performance in the Belmont was anything more than an "off day."
It's great to see Ceasar exit his race in such good order, as this provides a lot of options moving forward for the second part of his 2024 campaign. That being said, no decision has been made on his next start, but he'll certainly have lots of exciting spots to choose from in the coming months. We'll continue to monitor his progress daily, and over the next week or so should have a better idea where he may be pointed next.
