GO FOR GIN TAKES ON OLDER HORSES.(SPORTS)

Byline: Associated Press

SARATOGA SPRINGS Go For Gin, the Kentucky Derby winner, will run for the first time since the Belmont Stakes on June 11, when he makes his debut against older horses in the seven-furlong Forego Handicap at Saratoga on Wednesday.

``The Triple Crown was tough on him,'' trainer Nick Zito said of his decision to give the 3-year-old colt a good rest and skip the 1 1/4 -mile Travers, which was won Saturday by Holy Bull.

Go For Gin followed his Derby win May 7 with seconds in the Preakness and Belmont.

``If everything goes right, the Forego should set him up perfectly for the Woodward,'' Zito said Sunday.
