RACE 3 - MAIDENS – 2 YEARS OLDS – 300 YARDS
#3 First Painteddynasty – November 20 :12.5 at 220 yards (SET #5)
Inside Horse: Homebred by FDD Dynasty will make her racing debut after posting this :12.5 clocking from the inside post while finishing ahead of RR Wagonfullofgold. She used a flipping halter in this drill, pulled back on the halter as the gate opened and trailed her workmate at the start. Her rider hustled her from there and she responded with an excellent kick in the second half of the drill, outfinishing her rival and looking good in her gallop out while going under a big hold at the turn.
RACE 4 – MAIDEN CLAIMERS $10,000 – 2 YEARS OLDS – 300 YARDS
#2 RR Wagonfullofgold – November 20 :12.7 at 220 yards (SET #5)
Outside Horse: Worked on the outside vs. First Paintedddynasty, who’ll be in action in race 3. The Wyoming bred RR Wagonfullofgold was moving his head around before the gate opened and had his head coil back at the moment the starter opened the gate. He caught a bit off guard but came away the better of the two. He was under a hand-ride but did not keep up with the filly, finishing a nearly a length behind her before going under a good hold in his gallop out entering the turn.
#7 Chepe Cartel – November 6 :12.9 at 220 yards (SET #3)
Inside Horse: Gelding by Royal Cash Cartel will break from the inside post while making his first start since late April. He finished ahead of the Lil Kool Wagon colt Lil Kool Eye in this drill in :12.9 vs. :13.1. Leaving from an inner post, Chepe Cartel broke a tad awkwardly and appeared to rub the stall door during his take off. He still came away on the lead, was under a hand-ride while establishing a good lead through the lane. He drifted in during the second half of the work, but had a big lead by then and cruised in his gallop out.
RACE 5 – ALLOWANCE – 3 & UP FILLIES & MARES – 300 YARDS
#3 Milabro Lady – November 23 :12.9 at 220 yards (SET #3)
Inside Horse: Filly by Rite Favorite took on some of the top horses on the grounds in one of the trials to the Champion of Champions on November 17. The major stakes winner returned right away with his gate work when going from the inside post while finishing behind Special Two Corona in :12.3 vs. :12.9. Milagro Lady waited nicely for the start but then veered in badly out of the gate. It took several strides to straighten out as she had her body turned at an angle while continuing her running motion. She finally pointed her head straightforward about 15 yards after the gap, but continued to look green throughout the straightaway and finished far behind her workmate.
RACE 6 – MAIDENS– 3 YEAR OLDS – 300 YARDS
#2 LJ Lucky 7 – November 20 :12.3 at 220 yards (SET #4)
Solo Work: Utah bred gelding will make his 10th career start after posting this solo work in :12.3. He stood nicely but broke a little spread out in his first stride or two, angled and then continued to slide towards the inside while under an easy-going hand-ride. Solid effort in the second of the work while cruising around the clubhouse turn.
#6 Royaltys First – November 23 :12.4 at 220 yards (SET #2)
Inside Horse: Sophomore filly will make her career debut after working evenly from the inside post with the Favorite Cartel gelding Open Favorite Mrl. The two dueled in matching :12.4 clocking with Royaltys First breaking slowly after moving her head up before the gate opened. She broke slightly to the inside was hustled right away and to her credit, she gained ground on her outside foe before getting the best of him in the final 50 yards to win the drill. A solid gallop out followed her strong recovery after the slow start.
RACE 7 – ALLOWANCE –2 YEAR OLDS – 300 YARDS
#4 Jess Fly Thru Fire – November 16 :12.3 at 220 yards (SET #3)
Solo Work: Sharp winner on September 28, Fly Thru The Fire filly is out of the 2019 Two Million Futurity winner Cartel Jess Rockin. She worked solo here in :12.3 when lunging out before getting into a good rhythm while looking to determine to gobble up ground soon after the start. Her rider stayed busy on her, hand riding her the entire way as she maintained a good level of speed while angling slightly in during the second half of the race. Solid gallop out as she made her way quickly around the clubhouse turn.
