MOTION BIG GUNS ON COMEBACK TRAIL

Sidelined sophomores Animal Kingdom and Tobys Corner were both ridden under tack for the first time since beginning their rehab at Graham Motion’s Fair Hill base. Denali graduate and Team Valor International’s Animlal Kingdom has been out of action since finishing a troubled sixth in the G1 Belmont S. June 11. He emerged from the event with a slab fracture that required surgery. Motion reported that the two “Jogged for about 10 minutes and they both looked really well. The are both a little overwight, but I couldn’t be happier with how they are both doing.”
