Trainer Greg Sacco, who will send out Donna Wright and Reeves Thoroughbred Racing’s Crazy Mason in the $350,000 Commonwealth (G3) going 7 furlongs on Saturday, hasn’t raced a horse at Keeneland in six years. That runner was Mind Control, who ran ninth in the Lafayette on the undercard of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships.

Crazy Mason, who won the Carter (G2) Presented by NYRA Bets last year, wound up here this week instead of going to New York to defend his title in that race.

“It was a tough decision but this is a good starting point and if he runs well, we will stay in Kentucky and come back on Derby Day (for the $1 million Churchill Downs-G1 Presented by Ford),” Sacco said.

A deep closer, Crazy Mason has been solid going 7 furlongs with the Carter victory as well as a third-place finish in the Forego (G1) and the Vosburgh (G3) Presented by Army Mule.

“He always breaks good but then he settles back. I’d like to see him closer (early),” Sacco said. “But I am sure Irad (Ortiz Jr.) will work out a trip. The way he has been training, he will come rolling and I expect a big effort.

“If the track is wet, that won’t hurt him. Hopefully we can turn those seconds and thirds into wins.”
