Gary and Mary West's Maximum Security (New Year's Day), last-out winner of the TVG.com Haskell Invitational S. at Monmouth Park July 20, breezed a leisurely half-mile in :54 flat Wednesday morning as he works toward a yet-to-be determined next start which could come in either the GI Runhappy Travers S. at Saratoga Aug. 24 or in the GI Pennsylvania Derby at Parx Sept. 21.
“I just want to make sure he is 100%,” trainer Jason Servis told the Monmouth press office. “He's still not there yet.”
Servis said a decision on the Travers would come Aug. 19 or 20.
Servis said that Maximum Security did a mile of work in total Wednesday morning.
“He went the first half in 1:06 and the second half in :54 [seconds],” Servis said. “He did good. I was just getting some air in him. Nothing serious.”
