Dual Grade 3 Winner Repo Rocks Moves to Barn of Dutrow

Double B Racing Stables' dual grade 3 winner Repo Rocks , last seen finishing seventh in the Metropolitan Handicap (G1) in June at Belmont Park for trainer Jamie Ness, is now with conditioner Rick Dutrow Jr.

The 6-year-old Tapiture   gelding worked three-eighths in :38.26 March 22 over the Belmont dirt training track in his first breeze back since the Met Mile.

"We've had him two or three weeks and I like him. He looked good (in his work)," Dutrow, Jr. said. "He's getting himself back in the swing of things. If things go his way every day, (he'll run in) six weeks I would be guessing. He should be ready to run a big race then if every day is like what it has been since he's gotten back.

"I don't know him or how long it's going to take to get him ready—six weeks seems normal for him starting out the way he looks now."

Repo Rocks has thrived at Aqueduct Racetrack, taking the Toboggan (G3) and Stymie last year before a runner-up effort in the Carter Handicap (G1). He romped to a 5 1/4-length score in the Westchester (G3) in May at Belmont.

Bred in Virginia by Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin III, Repo Rocks, out of the Not For Love mare Hawaiian Love , boasts a record of 9-7-6 from 36 starts for purse earnings of $803,371.
