Lang Field bids to book Dubai trip

by Graham Green

LANG FIELD, winner of the Grade 1 Citation Handicap last time out for British owner Nigel Shields, could earn himself a trip to Dubai with another bold showing on Sunday in California.

Claimed for $30,000 at Churchill Downs in 2006, the four-year-old geld is now trained by Art Sherman, who saddles him in a strong renewal of the $150,000 San Gabriel .

“He is older and starting to relax,” said Sherman. “Before, he wanted to stampede to the lead.”

Rivals include fellow Grade 1 scorer Daytona – the Hollywood Derby winner formerly trained in Britain by Mark Johnston – plus Del Mar Derby winner Medici Code and Storm Military, who could be the best of them all. The mount of Garrett Gomez, he won two Group 1 races in Argentina before joining Bobby Frankel and has already finished in front of Lang Field elsewhere.
