X Y Jet lands in soft spot in prep for stakes

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Jorge Navarro had two choices for X Y Jet’s final prep for his first major goal of the season, the Group 1 Dubai Golden Shaheen. He could ship X Y Jet to Tampa Bay Downs for Saturday’s Pelican Stakes and a possible confrontation with Imperial Hint, or find a softer spot, like Wednesday’s $52,000 feature at Gulfstream Park, a six-furlong optional claimer.
