Kentucky Derby runner-up Sierra Leone returned to the work tab Saturday in Saratoga, working a half-mile in 48.20 seconds over the Oklahoma training track. Sierra Leone worked in company and on the inside of Domestic Product, the Tampa Bay Derby winner who finished 13th in the Kentucky Derby. Sierra Leone is pointing to the Belmont Stakes to be run June 8 at Saratoga. There are no immediate plans for Domestic Product. “I thought the horse worked super,” Chad Brown, trainer of Sierra Leone, told New York Racing Association publicity. “I’m very, very pleased with him. He’s settled into Saratoga nicely.” :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs! Join DRF Bets. Sierra Leone won the Grade 2 Risen Star and Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes before going off the second betting choice in the Kentucky Derby. Under Tyler Gaffalione, Sierra Leone rallied wide in the stretch but lugged in and bumped with Forever Young. Sierra Leone finished a nose behind Mystik Dan and a nose in front of Forever Young. There was no inquiry in the Derby but the Churchill stewards fined Tyler Gaffalione $2,500 for his ride six days later. At Churchill Downs Saturday, Honor Marie, who finished eighth with a troubled trip in the Kentucky Derby, worked a half-mile in 49.20 seconds over the main track. He went in company with Anthem King. “He’s had a really good couple of weeks since the Derby, surprisingly after the trip he had,” trainer Whit Beckman said. “He had an easy half, just to get him back on the tab. Everything’s good, he’s moving well, looked great, very happy with him.” Florent Geroux worked Honor Marie on Saturday. Geroux worked Honor Marie several times this winter at Fair Grounds. Geroux may be in line to ride Honor Marie in the Belmont after Ben Curtis, who had ridden the horse in the Kentucky Derby and Louisiana Derby, suffered a broken collarbone in a training at accident at Delaware Park Saturday morning, according to Beckman. Beckman said he is inclined to train Honor Marie at Churchill Downs as long as possible, but will monitor the weather both in Kentucky and Saratoga before making a final decision regarding that. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
