Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella is preparing the major stakes winners Champ Pegasus and Indy Point for stakes at Hollywood Park.
Champ Pegasus, unraced since a second in the Grade 2 Clement Hirsch Turf Championship in October 2011 at Santa Anita, is a candidate for the $200,000 Charles Whittingham Handicap over 1 1/4 miles on turf June 8.
Champ Pegasus, 7, won the 2010 Clement Hirsch Turf Championship when the race was a Grade 1 and was second in the Breeders’ Cup Turf at Churchill Downs that year. Champ Pegasus was sidelined by a series of injuries in 2012.
