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


FIRST RACE
*
1-Thought I’dmissyou
Oct. 11, 2019
3f, :35.4
Grade: B-
View Workout
Not asked for speed in short training track blowout, splits of :11.4 and :36 flat on our watches. Form is dreadful but this short spin wasn’t too bad for a cheap type.


FOURTH RACE

1-Road Rager
Oct. 7, 2019
5f, 1:01.2h
Grade: B
View Workout
Worked inside Tromador (same time) and was slightly best, no real pressure through the lane, splits of :24.4, :36.3, and 1:01.2. Quality Road maiden has some improvement in her.

1-Road Rager

5f, :59.4h
Grade: B-
View Workout
Official times reversed, actually was second best in company with Grinningeartoear (5f, 1:00.1h), breaking off a couple of lengths in front and then finishing head-and-head at the wire, some coaxing while workmate was going easier through the lane. Okay work, still a maiden but may be improving and should be competitive on either dirt or turf next time out.

Grade: B-

Maiden filly worked was ridden out through the lane, final three furlongs in a solid :36.3. Plenty fit and should return soon.

2-Mucho Macho Woman
Oct. 5, 2019
6f, 1:13.4h
Grade: B
View Workout
Broke off a couple of lengths in front of First Star (6f, 1:13.2h) and managed to hold that one at bay in rather nice fashion, final 5/8ths in 1:01.3, not really asked late, a neck in front at the wire. Had a race at Del Mar and was no factor but seems likely to improve with experience.

4f, :48.2h
Grade: B-

Final three furlongs in :36.3 without being asked much, okay move. Made little impression in turf sprint debut but probably has some improvement in her for Ellis.

3-Gold Arrow
Sept. 19, 2019
4f, :49.2h TT
Grade: B
View Video
Coming back well for Drysdale (previously a Hollendorfer), went solo on training track without being asked, showing quick action while coming home in :25 flat. Been away since the winter (second in both starts), should be live vs. maidens turf or dirt.

3f, :39.4h TT
Grade: C+
View Workout
Got a bit warm in this solo training track breeze, hard held throughout. Showed ability last winter before being stopped on, needs more work. Now in Drysdale barn.

Looked fine while breezing through the lane, final half mile in :23.4 and :48.4, plenty left late. In good shape, first or second in five of eight career starts.

Breezing throughout for O’Neill, splits of :12.4, :24.3 and :48.4 on our watches. In good form, should return vs. starter’s allowance foes soon.

4f, :48.2h
Grade: B+
View Workout
Never asked while finishing with some power, splits of :24.2 and :48.2, plenty left late. Seems to have found her niche as a turf sprinter.

Worked inside Pivo (3f, :36.1h) and was under a tight hold throughout while working from 3/8ths pole to the 7/8ths pole looking sharp. Maintains her edge.
