(Edited Monmouth Park report)

OCEANPORT, N.J. – Lookin at Lucky, who won Sunday’s $1 million IZOD Haskell Invitational (G1) with a tour de force performance, remained in his stall at Monmouth Park Thursday morning after running a temperature in the days following the race.

Dr. Bernie Dowd is attending veterinarian at Monmouth for the Bob Baffert-trained colt, who is in the care of longtime Baffert head traveling groom Roberto Luna.

“He ran a temperature Tuesday morning,” Dowd said, “and we’re treating him for that.

“It’s a pretty hot time of year,” Dr. Dowd said. “We want to make sure he’s totally stable and normal, and then he can travel. He’s a very healthy horse. He’s bright and alert. He’s doing well, and he’s in good hands.”

Lookin at Lucky, last year’s 2-year-old champion, took a giant step toward the 3-year-old title when he drew off to win the Haskell by four lengths over a talented field.

He was scheduled to be shipped back to Baffert’s Southern California headquarters at Del Mar on Tuesday, but ran a temperature and was treated with penicillin.
