Tamarisk, the highest rated European sprinter of 1998, has resumed full training after fertility problems curtailed his breeding career.
The five-year-old son of Green Desert has not run since finishing last on his American debut in a Keeneland allowance race in October, 1998.
However, on Wednesday Tamarisk breezed six furlongs in a good time on turf at the Arlington International racecourse.
Tamarisk, trained in Britain by Roger Charlton, is now in the care of W. Elliott Walden, who hopes to transform the horse into a miler on grass.
As a two-year-old, Tamarisk won three of his four starts and finished second to the outstanding European juvenile Xaar in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
The following season he won the Group One Haydock Park Sprint Cup and was second to Elnadim in the Darley July Cup at Newmarket.
