U. S. S. Valor 🏆 The @TeamValor International homebred delivered a jaw-dropping victory following a less-than-ideal trip in Saturday’s GI Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park. “You never really know how good they are until they step up, and he stepped up,” said trainer Shug McGaughey. “It’s going to be exciting for us, as long as everything stays the same, to go through the winter and see where it takes us.” The 2-year-old War of Will colt was crowned a ‘TDN Rising Star’ following a daylight maiden win with a division-leading 105 Beyer Speed Figure at second asking going seven furlongs at Saratoga Sept. 5. Connections announced Sunday that U. S. S. Valor will bypass the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and instead focus on preparing for a 3-year-old campaign in 2027 as they plot a path to next year’s GI Kentucky Derby. U. S. S. Valor, who holds a record of 2-0-1 from three career starts, will spend the winter at McGaughey’s Florida base at Payson Park. Read more 🗞️ thetdn.com
