The $1-million Jockey Club Gold Cup Oct. 10 is next for Java Gold, the outstanding 3-year-old colt who has added the Marlboro Cup to his list to triumphs.
“He’s beat the young and the old; he’s carried weight,” trainer Mack Miller said of Java Gold, who won the $750,000 Marlboro at Belmont Park Sunday. “He’s the best 3-year-old I’ve ever had. He’s sound and he’s my pal.”
Miller said he isn’t certain whether Java Gold will race on Breeders’ Cup Day at Hollywood Park Nov. 21. But it is expected a Gold Cup victory would enable Miller to retire Java Gold for the season and perhaps for good.
