The following workouts have been extracted from Jeff Siegel’s West Coast Daily Workout Analysis, which appears in this blog and is updated daily.


SECOND RACE

7-Bitter Ring Home
Sept. 12, 2019
4f, :49.3h
Grade: C+
View Workout
Splits of :24.3 and :25 flat, wrong lead through the lane, no real pressure but looking just so-so. Needs soft claimers.


THIRD RACE

Muskoka
Oct. 5, 2019
6f, 1:14hg
Grade: B-
View Workout
Went pretty well while much best over Doctrinaire (6f, 1:14.4hg) in team gate drill, splits of :24.1, :48.2 and 1:14 flat, coasting in the final furlong while able to go faster if asked. Twirling Candy maiden could be okay with a class drop.


FIFTH RACE

4-Crazy Speighty
Oct. 4, 2019
5f, 1:01.1hg
Grade: B
View Workout
Juvenile filly broke well but was taken in hand early and forced wide to avoid the just-breaking-off Mitole down the backstretch, got back into rhythm and went smoothly without any pressure, splits of :25 flat, :36.4, :48.4, and 1:01.2 while stride-for-stride with Much More Halo (same time, never really asked, either). Both have ability for Baffert and should make the entries soon.

7-Map Maker
Oct. 9, 2019
4f, :48.4h
Grade: B-
View Workout
Final three furlongs in :11.3 and :36.2, in blinkers, not really asked. Plenty fit, beautifully-bred but just an okay type based on her drills so far.

7-Map Maker
Sept. 27, 2019
6f, 1:14.2hg
Grade: C+
View Workout
Fair to moderate six furlong gate drill for Baffert while much best over Technicolor (5f, 1:01.3hg), splits of :24.1, :48 flat and 1:15 flat on our watches, slower than given, some late coaxing. This was a bit of improvement, but unraced half-sister to McKinzie really hasn’t shown all that much just yet.

7-Map Maker
Sept. 21, 2019
5f, 1:02hg
Grade: C+
View Video
In company with Heros Reward (5f, 100.4hg) and went easily early with splits of :24.3, :36.2 and :48.4 and then was basically up there, some late coaxing. Not one of this barn’s better ones at this stage.

7-Map Maker
Sept. 15, 2019
4f, :49.3h
Grade: C+
View Workout
Second best with Gingham (4f, :49.2h), breaking off a bit in front and finishing a bit behind while working inside, some late coaxing. Liam’s Map juvenile filly doesn’t strike us as anything special right now.

9-Roadrunner’s Honor
Sept. 11, 2019
4f, :48.4h
Grade: C+
View Workout
Not really asked much at any stage but was third best in team drill with Buyer’s Remorse (5f, 1:00.4h) and Dipping In (5f, 1:01.4h) while outside of the team throughout. Brought $100,000 at the OBS March sale. Down the road type at this stage.

10-Drama for Mama
Sept. 21, 2019
5f, 1:00.4h
Grade: B+
View Video
Broke off in front of Extra Hope (same time) and finished down the lane with that one without being asked, nice move, final half in :48.3 while able to go faster if turned loose. Gray daughter of Liam’s Map was a $250,000 yearling purchase at Saratoga last year and looks the part.


SIXTH RACE

1-Gingham
Oct. 6, 2019
4f, :49h
Grade: B
View Workout
Even with Mo Hawk (same time), both coming home well under light coaxing only, final quarter mile in :24.3. Seeking a two-turn maiden affair.

1-Gingham
Sept. 30, 2019
4f, :47.3h
Grade: B
View Workout
Broke off a length behind �clair (4f, :47.4h) and was under mild coaxing through the lane while not quite able to catch workmate at wire, :23.3 and :47.3 on our watches, then continued out with workmate to 7/8 pole and may have been a tad the best at the end, up in 1:00.1. Failed at odds-on at Los Alamitos; certainly capable of improving for Baffert and should be a short price again next time.

2-Overjoyed
Sept. 11, 2019
3f, :37h
Grade: B-
View Workout
Breezing in solo training track move for Drysdale, well in hand and looking fine, final quarter mile in :24.2. Was overmatched in her debut vs. stakes foes at Del Mar but should move forward with that race behind her and a realistic drop into the maiden ranks. Nice prospect by Medaglia d’Oro should handle turf or dirt.

3-Paige Anne
Sept. 21, 2019
5f, 1:02.1h
Grade: B-
View Video
Okay move, final half on our watches in :24.2 and :48.3. Juvenile filly showed some improvement when third at 17-1 two-turning vs. maidens in her second start and seems to be doing well enough.

6-Unicorn
Oct. 3, 2019
5f, 1:02h
Grade: B+
View Workout
Worked inside Arch Anthem (5f, 1:02.3h) and was much the best, breezing throughout, final half mile on our watches in :23.4 and :49.3, coasting to the wire. Lost her rider at the start when 2/5 in a maiden router at Del Mar last time out, should be a short price again vs. similar soon.

7-Rare Find
Sept. 14, 2019
6f, 1:15.4h
Grade: C
View Workout
Unraced 2-year-old filly by Bernardini went in company with older Charlito (same time), leading that one by about four lengths midway but under some pressure through the lane to finish head-and-head with that one, final 5/8ths our watches in :38.1 and 1:03.3. Doesn’t look like anything special at this stage. Workmate was ridden through the lane to close the gap after being outrun early, not impressive, either.


SEVENTH RACE

1-S Y Sky
Oct. 6, 2019
5f, 1:02.3h
Grade: C+
View Workout
A tad second best outside Violette Szabo (same time), not really asked but unable to get past breezing workmate. State-bred daughter of Grazen always fires and is effective on any surface, thought she’d go a little better here, though.

3-Gypsy Blu
Oct. 5, 2019
4f, :48.2h
Grade: B
View Workout
Went well under very light coaxing only through the lane, splits of :23.3 and :48.1 on our watches. Veteran Cal-bred daughter of Papa Clem in good form for Glatt.

6-Just Grazed Me
Oct. 5, 2019
5f, 1:01.4h TT
Grade: B
View Workout
Broke off about three lengths behind Our Romance (5f, 1:02.2h TT) and closed the gap through the lane under mild coaxing to finish evenly at the wire, final three furlongs in :12 flat and :36.4 in training track drill. Won two of her last three and holds her edge.


EIGHTH RACE

2-Shear Class
Sept. 25, 2019
5f, 1:01.3h
Grade: C+
View Workout
Slightly second best working inside of Lambeau (same time), some coaxing through the lane, splits of :36.3 and 1:01.4 on our watches, fair move. Certainly not a speed type but did flash a bit of promise in debut at Del Mar (closed well) and may improve with distance and experience.

6-Unicorn
Oct. 3, 2019
5f, 1:02h
Grade: B+
View Workout
Worked inside Arch Anthem (5f, 1:02.3h) and was much the best, breezing throughout, final half mile on our watches in :23.4 and :49.3, coasting to the wire. Lost her rider at the start when 2/5 in a maiden router at Del Mar last time out, should be a short price again vs. similar soon.


NINTH RACE

1-Nolo Contesto
Sept. 20, 2019
5f, 1:02.3h TT
Grade: C+
View Workout
A couple of ticks slower than given on our watches, :25.2, :37.3 and 1:03 flat in solo training track drill while being ridden along through the lane. No real change for one-paced 3-year-old in Sadler’s barn.

4-Via Egnatia
Oct. 6, 2019
4f, :48.3h TT
Grade: B
View Workout
Broke off in front of Pantsonfire (4f, :48.2h) and held that one off in very nice training track drill, something left late, no pressure, final three furlongs in :36.2. Trailed second-level allowance foes at Del Mar, certainly capable of improving in an easier spot.

5-Dark Hedges
Oct. 5, 2019
5f, 1:00.1h
Grade: C+
View Workout
Was asked through the lane and had just a moderate response, final three furlongs in :11.2 and :36.1 on our watches. Lone Star Park shipper will find this circuit a lot more competitive.

5-Dark Hedges
Sept. 21, 2019
4f, :49.3h TT
Grade: C+
View Video
Final quarter in :24.4 while being ridden through the lane. Lightly-raced son of Giant’s Causeway broke his maiden at Lone Star Park in June, hard to say how he’ll fit on this much tougher circuit.

8-Moody Jim
Sept. 21, 2019
5f, 1:03.4h TT
Grade: C
View Video
Wrong lead through the lane while finishing under urging, final quarter in :26 flat. Probably needs grass, ran a bit below expectations in the Del Mar Derby; still has all of his conditions.

10-M Town Gem
Sept. 7, 2019
4f, :49.1h
Grade: C+
View Workout
Even but second best with Unbroken Star (same time, easily), some urging late, final quarter in :25 and small change. Not particularly impressive in this drill but based on his form the Puype-trained Gemologist gelding might not be much of a worker.
