VIDEO LINK
Worked evenly with the Stellar Rain filly Abbyslovintherain when covering the distance in :12.60 on May 9. Apollitical Freedom broke in hard to bump her rival and then ran with her head turned to the grandstand side of the racetrack for several strides. She straightened out and showed a lot determination from that point, racing evenly with her foe and hitting the wire in unison. She continued with a good stride after the wire, brushed with drifting foe but remained with good energy throughout. They both finished with the 10th fastest of 20 works on May 9. Abbyslovintherain finished fifth in her racing debut.
#3 Stable Genius – May 16 :12.80- Inside
The gelding by Seperate Interest will outwork an unraced filly named Woozers in this drill :12.8 to :13.0. Stable Genius broke to the inside and then drifted out after the gap while moving under a hand-ride. She floated back to the inside near the end of the work before continuing with a good gallop out when posting the 13th fastest of 23 drills.
RACE 7 – Maidens, 2-Year-Old Fillies - 300 Yards
#Nomadess – May 7 :12.60 at 220 yards – Middle Horse
Worked in between horses as part of a three-horse set on May 7. The inside horse is the unraced Veriable, who finished with a time of :12.7, and the outside horse is Flight Queen, who finished fourth to Apollitical Patty in a maiden race. Flight Queen will win this drill in :12.5. Leaving from the middle, Nomadess appears to be brushed lightly at the start, but she emerges in good form and has a clear path from there. She is racing evenly with Verifiable, while chasing Flight Queen and will be asked twice right-handed. She shows a good late burst to finish ahead of Verifiable and will gallop out wide and with good energy well past the wire in a time of :12.60. This was the 2nd fastest of five drills on May 7.
RACE 8 – Allowance, 3-Year-Olds - 300 Yards
#4 Ynot Pout – May 16 :12.2 – Solo work
Favorite Cartel filly will be making her first start since running fifth in a 330-yard allowance race on August 17. In this solo work, Ynot Pout left the gate sharply before lugging in after the gap. She continued to drift in while under a hand-ride and crossed the wire under a hold. She had a solid gallop out after the wire while still under wraps. She posted a :12.2 clocking, the 3rd fastest of 23 on May 16.
