El Capi, who won his career debut Dec. 2 at Aqueduct by 9 1/2 lengths, earning a 99 Beyer Speed Figure, is sidelined for a few months due to shins, trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. said. He was sent to a farm in Lexington, Ky., several weeks ago. “He’ll probably be back to us in a month, month-and-a-half,” Dutrow said. “Nothing has to be done other than just getting him rest and getting him right.” Meanwhile, Dutrow said he has no plans for Guanare, the 3-year-old son of Runhappy who won the three-horse Spectacular Bid Stakes on Jan. 27 at Laurel Park. It was Guanare’s third straight win in as many starts for Dutrow. “He’s been very good for us,” Dutrow said. “I don’t know about his next start, we’ll see how he comes out of the race and we’ll see what’s available.” One race that could be available is the Grade 3, $300,000 Gotham Stakes going a one-turn mile March 2. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
