Warrawee Needy - Lifetime Best

Where did he winter and when did he start back?

"He wintered with me in Florida and we started back with him in February."

Any changes you've noticed?

“He was a bigger two-year-old than most, but he’s grown a bit more, too. He’s filled-out and developed very nicely. We had to let his hopples out again, too. Now, I believe, he’s around 61-inches. He’s still got the same attitude and mentality that he’s always had, which is great to see. He’s a pleasure to work around in the barn and he’s all business on the track. He acts like a true professional and just loves his work.”

Where is he at now and when will he qualify?

“We are all systems go. He’s trained in 2:00 and he’ll likely qualify around May 1. I’m coming back to Ontario on April 23 and he’ll be coming with me. He will qualify at Mohawk probably twice.”

What will his early schedule look like leading up to the Pepsi NA Cup?

“The Upper Canada Cup will be his first race. I don’t think I’ll get an overnight race into him before that. Next, will be the Somebeachsomewhere Stakes then the ‘Cup’.”
