UPDATE 9/8: Aldeb set after crisp blowout; Mig likely

[NoCarolinaTony]

In the FWIW category, Channing Hill is getting better. He's clearly not in the upper echelon of jockeys but he's moved up from the auto throw out category. Learning to ride in the NY colony can only help him get better.

My Choice for ALdeb would be Corny, Prado, Luzzi, Mig, Julien, Bejerano (if he comes back east). Anybody but Albarado.

Aldeb is going to blow out 3/8ths from the gate in the am.

Cannon,

Why do some trainers go to 6F works more often in California than they do back east?

I think that it used to be that the tracks were very fast and the trainers felt the horses needed more work to get racing fit than the East Coast trainers. Not to mention that the style of racing was run like hell from the gate and you need to be really fit to excel under those circumstances.That may be a generalization but I really dont have any other theories.

how long has been since you've seen a horse have a recorded work at a mile anywhere?


I notice that there seems to be many more works that are considered h -
handily out west than out east.


when is Aldeb going to run the 6 1/2 sprint on the downhill Santa Anita that is

Bennie Stutts works Smooth Air a mile often. You see Mr. Jerkens' horses in PP's regularly that have been working 7f or a mile. Trombetta works 7f a lot too.

Calder guys do that slow mile work a lot too
