GATE WORK FOR SATURDAY, JUNE 7
RACE 6 – MAIDENS - 2-YEAR-OLD FILLIES – 300 YARDS
#2 Favorite Mojo – May 24 :12.4 at 220 yards (SET #3)
Outside Horse: Washington-bred colt by Favorite Cartel is out of Apollo Snowbound, the mother of multiple Grade 1 winning standout BH Lisas Boy. Worked from the outside post when finishing ahead of Go Kickin Again :12.4 vs. :12.9. Did not wear blinkers for this drill, while being a bit restless before the start. Seemed to bump the side of the gate leaving but quickly got into form. He angled out then circled back to his path and sailed to a big workout win while showing strong acceleration to the wire and around the turn. Favorite Mojo also worked from the outside post vs. the impressive maiden winner Jess Maxi N Me going in :12.5 on April 19. Also had a :13.4 drill on May 3.
#5 Karl The Legend – May 17 :13.0 at 220 yards (SET #2)
Outside Horse: Walk Thru Fire colt is out of the blue-hen broodmare Babe On the Fly, who was produced multiple Grade 1 winners. He worked from the outside post in :13 flat on May 17 when finishing behind two experienced runners, CCR Your Favorite and As Cartel. Karl The Legend was leaning back when the gate opened but left on a straight path. Was hustled right away, surged into contention but still finished behind the other two solid workers before going nicely in the gallop out. Worked inside when finishing behind Otto Zone in :13.2 on April 23.
RACE 7 – MAIDENS - 2-YEAR-OLD FILLIES – 300 YARDS
#5 As Cartel – May 17 :12.9 at 220 yards (SET #2)
Middle Horse: Favorite Cartel filly out of the outstanding mare As and Js will be making her third career start. Worked in between horses in :12.9 while finishing just behind CCR Your Favorite’s :12.8 on May 17. The other runner in this work is Karl Legend, who’ll make her racing debut on Saturday night. As Cartel was moving her head as the gate opened, took one hard step inwards and then settled into a solid stride while chasing CCR Your Favorite. Was under a hand-ride as she moved up to her inside rival and crossed the wire while being ridden solidly. Solid gallop out before easing around the turn.
RACE 8 – MAIDENS - 2-YEAR-OLD FILLIES – 300 YARDS
#2 Una Dulce Flora – May 10 :12.6 at 220 yards (SET #8)
Outside Horse: This will be Una Dulce Flora’s third career outing and enters after posting this :12.6 work from the X on May 10. Sired by the red-hot freshman stallion Dulce Sin Tacha, Una Dulce Flora worked from the outside post when finishing behind Jess Maxi N Me’s bullet work of :12.3 vs. :12.6 on May 10. Left the gate in solid fashion but had to deal with a flyer in Jess Maxi N Me. She was pushed too hard, showed a quick turn of foot through the lane while trailing the talented filly. Was under a big hold crossing the wire and there was not much to deduce from that gallop out.
