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


THIRD RACE

1-Establish Justice
Sept. 28, 2019
5f, 1:02.1h
Grade: B-
Slightly best with Cyrielle (same time), mostly in hand through the lane, final three furlongs in :12 flat and :37.3. Trailed in debut but can do better with a class drop to the maiden claiming ranks.

1-Establish Justice
Sept. 22, 2019
5f, 1:02h
Grade: B-
Wore blinkers, broke off behind Unbreakable (5f, 1:03.3h) and had no trouble going past that one in the upper stretch before drawing clear under urging in the lane, final three furlongs in :38.2. Has a bit of run for Puype.


3-Blue Jays
Sept. 14, 2019
4f, 49.3hg
Grade: C+
$170,000 Street Sense colt worked from gate with Doctinaire (4f, :50hg) and was best for Desormeaux under mild coaxing only, :25.1 and :50 flat on our watches. Has a bit of run, worth another look in a more serious drill. Workmate was asked to keep up but couldn’t, not much.


FOURTH RACE

2-Thunder Code
Oct. 11, 2019
4f, :49.4h
Grade: B
Breezing throughout, final three furlongs in :12 flat and :37.2. Has further improvement in him with added experience, still a fairly promising sort.


5-Friar’s Road
Oct. 19, 2019
5f, 1:01hg
Grade: B-
Inside Rushie (same time) in team gate drill, splits of :24.1, :35.4 and :48 flat, then was allowed to coast out an extra furlong while even throughout with workmate (who may have been going a tad easier early on). Expensive yearling ($500,000) by Quality Road is getting fit, okay sort, maybe.

5-Friar’s Road
Oct. 13, 2019
4f, :48hg
Grade: B
Never really asked in gate drill with Flat White (asked, same time, second best), splits of :24 flat, :35.3 and :48 flat, able to go faster if asked. Quality Road colt brought $500,000 as a yearling, getting fit, might make the meeting.


6-Rushie
Oct. 19, 2019
5f, 1:01hg
Grade: B-
In company from gate with Friar’s Road (same time) and may have gone a bit the easier of the two while pretty much even throughout, splits of :24.1, :35.3 and :48 flat (pretty much up there) before easing out five furlongs. Liam’s Map juvenile colt is lgetting fit, definitely has some run, worth a look.

6-Rushie
Sept. 28, 2019
4f, :48h
Grade: B+
Breezing inside Policy (4f, :48.1h), able to go faster if turned loose, splits of :24 flat and :48 flat, plenty left in the tank. Like the way this one moves, Liam’s Map juvenile is a promising sort, for sure.

6-Rushie
Sept. 20, 2019
4f, :48h
Grade: B+
Breezing with Fredericktown (4f, :48.2h), nice hold throughout while drawing clear late with plenty left, splits of :23.2 and :48 flat. Like the way this M. McCarthy-trained 2-year-old son of Liam’s Map moves. Was $70,000 OBS March sale purchase.


7-Ra’ad
Oct. 10, 2019
5f, 1:00.4h
Grade: C+
$500,000 Twirling Candy colt was second best with Seiche (same time), working outside and finishing slightly less than a length behind at the wire under some late urging, 1:01.1 on our watches. Nothing special at this stage.

7-Ra’ad
Sept. 14, 2019
5f, 1:00.3hg
Grade: B
$500,000 OBS April 2-year-old in training purchase was sent from the gate in team drill with River Finn (5f, 1:02h) and was best throughout, going off quickly in :23.2 but slowing up late while still much the best. :47.3 and 1:00.3 on our watches. Plenty of zip evident, workmate was no match.


8-Thousand Words
Oct. 14, 2019
5f, 1:00hg
Grade: B
Even but best outside Azul Coast (same time) in team gate drill, splits of :24.1, :35.4 and :47.2, going the better of the two in the final furlong under mild coaxing before galloping out to the wire in 1:15 flat. Million dollar yearling looks the part, nice prospect should make the entries soon.

8-Thousand Words
Sept. 29, 2019
4f, :46.4h
Grade: B
Broke off a length behind Der Lu (same time) and was ridden through the lane but couldn’t close the gap on breezing workmate, finishing about a length back at the wire. Fast time but kinda expected a bit more late punch. $1 million son of Pioneerof the Nile might be a route type.

8-Thousand Words
Sept. 8, 2019
4f, :48.2h
Grade: B
Juvenile son of Pioneerof the Nile colt broke off in front of American Code (4f, :48.2h) and finished stride-for-stride down the lane with that one, well in hand inside and displaying a nice, long, athletic stride for Baffert. Cost $1 million as a yearling. Should make the entries early in the Santa Anita fall season, wouldn’t be surprised to see him debut over a distance of ground (that’s where his future lies).


FIFTH RACE

7-Policy
Sept. 28, 2019
4f, :48.1h
Grade: C+
Second best outside Rushie (4f, :48 flat), ridden some through the lane but finishing a length back at the wire of breezing workmate. Comeback races have been less than inspiring, needs a class drop.


SIXTH RACE

2-My Journey
Oct. 13, 2019
4f, :48.4h
Grade: C+
Broke off several lengths in front of Secret Spice (4f, :47.3h) and finished down the lane with that one, mild coaxing (workmate under wraps), not too bad for a cheap type. Seeking another bottom-rung maiden claimer.


SEVENTH RACE

3-Hidden Message
Oct. 19, 2019
5f, 1:02.3h
Grade: B
Breezing every step of the way, splits of :25.2, :37.1 and 1:02.3, looking fine on the main track for Callaghan. High class Scat Daddy 3-year-old filly maintains her edge.


9-Mucho Unusual
Sept. 27, 2019
5f, 1:02.1h
Grade: B-
Broke off behind cheaper workmate Sapori Girl (5f, 1:02.2h) and finished down the lane without that one, easy early, no pressure late, splits of :24.4, :36.4 and 1:01.4 on our watches, a bit faster than given. Prefers turf, just a cut below the really good 3-year-old West Coast fillies.


11-Strike at Dawn
Oct. 2, 2019
5f, 1:01h TT
Grade:
Ridden a bit through the lane but did well in solo training track move, splits of :24.2, :36.1 and 1:01 flat, full stride to the wire. Declaration of War filly continues on the upgrade.

11-Strike at Dawn
Sept. 8, 2019
4f, :49.4h TT
Grade: B-
Recent surprise Del Mar allowance winner for Baltas went off slowly and finished without being asked much, final quarter in :24.3. Lightly-raced daughter of Declaration of War wants turf for her best, probably has further improvement in her.


EIGHTH RACE

1-Tromador
Oct. 7, 2019
5f, 1:01.2h
Grade: B-
A tad second best but went well enough outside Road Rager (same time), splits of :24.4, :36.3 and 1:01.2, mild coaxing through the lane. Coming around and should make the entries soon.

1-Tromador
Sept. 30, 2019
4f, :48.3
Grade: B
Broke off about four lengths in front of Beautiful Thunder (4f, :48.3h), showed some greenness when switching to outside lead before straightening for home and held that one safely in the final furlong, finishing a length clear at the wire under very light coaxing only while looking strong in the final stages. Exchange Rate unraced 2-year-old should be more than fit enough by now.

1-Tromador
Sept. 25, 2019
6f, 1:15.2h
Grade: C+
In company with Go Daddy Go (6f, 1:15.4h) and was best by a couple of lengths at the wire, splits of :24 flat, :49 flat and 1:15.3 on our watches, ridden through the lane, fair response. $80,000 2018 OBS April sale colt by Exchange Rate colt still has yet to start in the fall of his sophomore season, nothing special at this stage.


2-Soldier Boy
Oct. 18, 2019
5f, 1:01.2h
Grade: B
Never asked at any stage, easy to the wire, splits of :24.4, :36.3 and 1:01.3 for Sadler. Lost a toughie last time out, should be the one to beat in a similar maiden main track sprint in his next outing.


3-Chosen Moon
Oct. 13, 2019
5f, 1:01hg
Grade: C+
Not really impressive in company from gate with Broke Away Grey (same time), slower than given on our watches, :25.3 and :37.4, then was asked pretty hard thereafter and produced only a fair response, :49.3 before being eased up at the furlong pole. Malibu Moon colt should make the entries soon, nothing special at this stage.

3-Chosen Moon
Sept. 12, 2019
5f, 1:03.1h
Grade: B-
Final half mile on our watches in 50 flat while coming home well (:24.3) for Ellis, mild coaxing only. $150,000 Timonium 2-year-old in training purchase may have a bit of run but hasn’t been cranked up yet.


7-Stretford End
Oct. 18, 2019
5f, 1:00.2h
Grade: B-
Used as a target for Donna Veloce (5f, 1:00 flat), breaking off a few lengths in front but proving no match for breezing workmate in the final furlong, winding up about two back at the wire without really being asked much (went a few tickets slower than official final time). Not too bad considering the competition.


NINTH RACE

2-Violette Szabo
Oct. 6, 2019
5f, 1:02.3h
Grade: B
Inside with classy S Y Sky (same time) and actually looked the better of the two throughout, breezing to the wire before continuing out well to 7/8 pole, splits of :49.2 and 1:02.3. May not mean much but daughter of Grazen appeared eager and healthy.


4-Takethediamondlane
Oct. 13, 2019
4f, :47.2h
Grade: B
No real pressure, sharp through the lane, final quarter mile in :23.3. Won her debut at Del Mar in a moderate maiden special weight affair, probably will improve but will get tested on the raise.
