FIRST RACE

1-Peytons Path
Oct. 2, 2019
5f, 1:03.3h
Grade: C-
View Workout
In blinkers, high-headed and very late changing leads while finishing under some pressure, splits of :25.1, :37.2 and 1:03.4 flat on our watches. Didn’t show a whole lot in his debut but is hard to endorse at this stage.


3-Takeo
Sept. 13, 2019
5f, 1:01.4h
Grade: C+
View Workout
Maiden claimer was under a tight hold inside of Express Train (5f, 1:01.3h) into the lane, was late changing leads and then gradually weakened without undue pressure, final 3/8ths in :37.2. Nothing to get excited about, workmate is a very good young prospect.


THIRD RACE

3-Carressa
Oct. 2, 2019
4f, :48.2h
Grade: B+
View Workout
Under wraps while finishing full of run and proving best over Mobou (same time), final quarter mile in :24.1. Really like the way this filly is developing for Shirreffs.


3-Carressa
Sept. 25, 2019
5f, 1:01.1h
Grade: B
View Workout
Broke off slightly behind Duchamp (5f, 1:01.4h) and was considerably best late, breezing to the wire, splits of :37 flat and 1:01.2 on our watches. Looks good, returned off a layoff to beat maidens from last to first, may have further improvement in her.


3-Carressa
Sept. 11, 2019
4f, :49.4h
Grade: B-
View Workout
Uncle Mo filly worked inside 2yo Thunder Code (same time) and looked fine breezing with splits of :24.4 and :49 flat before galloping out well. Left her previous form behind with a nice maiden win over a mile at Del Mar and should be able to build on that with added experience.


5-Der Lu
Sept. 29, 2019
4f, :46.4h
Grade: A-
View Workout
Broke off a length in front of Thousand Words (same time) and was breezing through the lane (workmate asked), plenty left late, splits of :11.1 and :35.2 for the final three furlongs, a length in front at the wire. Best we’ve seen her since last year, probably was a bit rusty in her Del Mar comeback and certainly should have a significant forward move in her.


10-Beautiful Thunder
Sept. 30, 2019
4f, :48h
Grade: C+
View Workout
In blinkers, Broke off about four lengths behind Tromador (4f, :48.3h). moved to engage at the head of the lane but could never get by under some coaxing, a length back at the wire and appearing second best despite faster final time. Flashed some speed in debut in tough race; $140,000 yearling purchase by Broken Vow needs to improve.


FOURTH RACE

2-Encoder
Sept. 13, 2019
4f, :49.1h
Grade: B
View Workout
Unbeaten stakes-winning juvenile by English Channel worked on dirt and went nicely without urging, splits of :24.3 and :49.1. Moves well enough on the main track but almost certainly will be reserved for grass.


7-Cool Runnings
Sept. 28, 2019
5f, 1:01.4h
Grade: B
View Workout
Well in hand early breaking off a few lengths in front of Opus Equus (same time) while several paths off the rail, was joined by workmate at the top of the lane but then drew off rapidly under some late coaxing, final half in :24.1 and :49.2 on our watches. Has room for further development; seeking a maiden 2-year-old two-turn affair, should handle either surface.


7-Cool Runnings
Sept. 21, 2019
5f, 1:02h
Grade: B-
View Video
Much best over Zimba Warrior (5f, 1:02.3h), working inside of that one and opening up under urging through the lane, final three furlongs :37 flat. Okay work, maiden juvenile by American Pharoah seeking another maiden affair, may have a bit of improvement in him.


SEVENTH RACE

3-Anuket
Oct. 2, 2019
4f, :49h
Grade: B+
View Workout
Breezing with splits of :12.1, :24.2 and :49.1 on our watches, plenty left late. Should return to action soon, can fire fresh.


3-Anuket
Sept. 25, 2019
5f, 1:00.3h
Grade: B+
View Workout
Broke off a bit more than a length in front of Roadster (5f, 1:00.2h) and finished evenly with that one through the lane, both breezing and able to go faster if asked. Should resume her promising career soon, seems fit and has retained all of here speed.

3-Anuket
Sept. 1, 2019
5f, 1:00.2hg
Grade: B+
View Workout
Nice gate drill for the $575,000 come-backing daughter of Pioneerof the Nile in the Baffert barn, breezing inside Appolina (5f, 1:00.3h, urged doing her best) and went well throughout, final three furlongs in a solid :36.4 while mostly on her own. Won her debut like a top prospect but then stumbled at the start and lost her rider as the heavy favorite in her next outing in early February. Appears to be coming back very well, has all of her conditions.


5-Miss Ava’s Union
Sept. 29, 2019
4f, :49.4h
Grade: B-
View Workout
A bit rank and erratic leaving the pole while hard held, showed a tendency to get out on the turn, then finished under a tight hold, splits of :24.3 and :49.3 on our watches. Needs to settle down. Broke her maiden at Del Mar last time out and will have further improvement in her if she can get her act together.
