Baltimore June 6. Calumet Trainer Jimmy Jones hopes Citation can reach $1,000,000 in earnings before retiring next fall. Jones said in a Baltimore Sun interview that Citation will wrap his career in the Pimlico Special, then stud next spring. Despite a not perfectly sound foreleg, Jones expects the horse to last the season.

Plans include the Golden Gate Handicap, then Chicago, then back east for Labor Day, aiming to hit the million early. Jones argues purses are shrinking, so the mark may stand.
