It's Rollo, by the way.

Like the Candy?

I wonder how fast the track was playing when SS worked that fast. 1:33 1/5 would have broken Precisionist's track record.

I think Precisionist also blazed a fast mile workout at del mar coming off his huge layoff.

Snow Chief.

He was set to debut going 5 or 5.5 at HP on the day of my high school graduation. He had a 6f work down at Caliente that was something really sick, like 110 flat or faster. This is for a two year old in June!

He won and paid pretty decently actually.

Might have been third choice.

I barely made it back to my high school in time for the graduation ceremony.

I believe Secretariat once broke a long standing 10f track record in a workout, but I might be mistaken.

I think I remember seeing Peace Rules work in :45 and change before the '04 Foster.

Interesting thread for people like me who don't know any of this.

Maybe someone who has access to DRF archives may be able to come up with the specifics. This would be in respect to a workout that Clever Trevor had prior to the 1989 St. Paul Derby. I'll never forget the description of the work by the DRF trackman in the Form. "Clever Trevor working as though possed by the devil........"
