The North American version of Achilles of Troy is REALLY flying, at least according to totay's Bloodhorse Journal:
"At Aqueduct, multiple stakes winner ACHILLES OF TROY (Notebook), who is on the comeback trail, worked five furlongs on a fast track in a bullet :48 2/5, the best of 10 works at the distance."
The rest of the 5-furlong works must have been dawdling if a mere 48 2/5 was good enough for a bullet. ;>)
