The Empire Maker 2-year-old colt, now named Kinf of France, breezed on Friday working 3 furlongs in 37.00 at Delaware Park. That work was 10th of 21 at the distance.

We spoke with trainer Steve Klesaris after the breeze. Steve said, “This was his first published work. He breezed very nicely. He’s an extraordinary looking specimen. I’m very excited to see him come along.”

Steve will breeze King of France on a 7-to-10-day breeze schedule preparing him for his debut.
