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

1-Zucchera
Sept. 20, 2019
5f, 1:03.1h
Grade: C
Second best under urging through the lane with A G Indy (same time), not impressive for Baltas. Needs soft maiden claimers to be competitive on this circuit.

THIRD RACE

3-Magic Rate
Oct. 19, 2019
5f, 1:02.4hg
Grade: C
Worked from gate with older turf router Ronald R (6f, 1:15.2hg) and was under some coaxing most of the way while a tad second best, slow early and not particularly fast late, either, splits of :25.4, :L49.4 and 1:02.4, up at the eighth pole while workmate continued to the wire. Hard to endorse right now, should make the entries soon.

3-Magic Rate
Sept. 27, 2019
5f, :48.3h
Grade: C+
No match for Omaha Beach (4f, :46.3h), breaking with classy stable mate and going fairly quick early (:11.2, :22.4) before fading in the lane while very late switching leads. Exchange Tate unraced 3-year-old colt should make the entries soon, probably a maiden claimer.


4-Torosay
Oct. 19, 2019
5f, 1:01.1h
Grade: B
Best by a couple of lengths inside Factor of Two (4f, :49.1, up at wire) and went pretty well throughout without being asked much, splits of :24.1, :48.1 and 1:01.1 out to 7/8 pole. Flashed good speed before weakening in debut, has a right to improve.

FOURTH RACE

5-Concord Jet
Oct. 20, 2019
5f, 1:02.1h
Grade: B
Looked good for a cheap type, breezing throughout and coasting home while much best over Cocoa Cents (5f, 1:03.2h), splits of :24.4, :36.3 and 1:02.1, Perking up, should be dangerous in a modest claiming sprint

FIFTH RACE

7-Buckstopper Kit
Oct. 21, 2019
5f, 1:04h TT
Grade: B-
Broke off five lengths in front of Mirth (5f, 1:03h) and managed to hold that one at bay through the lane, not really asked much (workmate asked), finishing well after going off slowly. Comes off restricted $32,000 claiming win and holds that form.


8-Real Master-FR
Sept. 13, 2019
4f, :51.3h
Grade: C+
French-bred worked solo in training track move, going off slowly but picking it up a bit through the lane while being let run, final three furlongs in :38.2 for Bell. Marathon-type has all of his conditions.

SIXTH RACE

5-Taishan
Oct. 20, 2019
5f, 1:00.2h
Grade: B+
Twirling Candy colt worked extremely well for Baltas in company with BC Distaff-bound Secret Spice (5f, 1:00h), breaking off in front of that one and then holding her at bay under mild coaxing only, final three furlongs in :11.4 and :36.1, plenty left late. Had an outing at Del Mar and certainly can improve with that race behind him, expecting a nice forward move next time out.

5-Taishan
Oct. 13, 2019
5f, 1:02h
Grade: B
Mostly on his own, final half mile in :24.2 and :48.4, solid drill. Had an even run when fifth in his debut at Del Mar and has a right to improve with experience.

5-Taishan
Oct. 6, 2019
5f, 1:02.2h
Grade: B-
Ridden through the lane to finish about a half-length in front of Two Thirty Five (same time, not asked much), final half on our watches in :49.4. Twirling Candy juvenile colt may have a bit of improvement in him.

EIGHTH RACE

1-Don’t Blame Judy
Oct. 21, 2019
5f, 1:01.3h TT
Grade: B-
Ridden through the lane, fair to okay in solo training track drill, final three furlongs in :11.4 and :37.3. Probably needs turf to show her best stuff.
