HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Woodslane Farm’s veteran homebred Wolfie’s Dynaghost breezed a half-mile Sunday ahead of his next assignment in the $200,000 Fort Lauderdale (G3) Dec. 20 at Gulfstream Park.

The 7-year-old gelding went four furlongs in 49.55 seconds over a firm turf course at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream’s satellite training facility in Palm Beach County. The time ranked fourth-fastest of 40 horses at the distance.

Wolfie’s Dynaghost enters the 1 1/8-mile Fort Lauderdale, local prep for the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1) Jan. 24, off a front-running 2 ¾-length triumph in the Nov. 8 River City (G3), contested at the same distance, in his first start for trainer Brian Lynch.

Overall, Wolfie’s Dynaghost owns 13 wins, nine in stakes including the 2023 Autumn (G2), and $1.23 million in purse earnings from 31 career starts.

“Let’s hope we’re far from being done,” Lynch said. “He’s certainly got us going in the right direction and we’re excited about running him back here in the Ft. Lauderdale.”

Lynch also worked Stone Farm homebred Litigation a half mile on the Palm Meadows turf in 49.40 seconds, third-fastest of the day, ahead of the $125,000 Janus on the Dec. 20 undercard.
