Best Maiden Race of the meet so far...

All these well-bred firsters are really working quite well, as if at least one or two of them will be good ones.

No...........but based on the workouts listed, it seems like they are all working well. Darley has a Bernardini Briswatch on their site, so I can check the PPs of his upcoming runners (and other horses).

If you are paying attention to anything other than the spacing of the works, it's really a waste of time imo.

the only time I think its helpful to look at works is for Maidens & first time starters. just my opinion but I like to see a first time starter throw a bullet work before the race..

all other races works are meaningless for me... except for the spacing of them.

I demand 5 furlong works and hopefully a bullet within the last month

Listening to a trainer and getting the word from the backside is generally the best way to bet firsters.

So what are supposed to be well spaced works? I see the closer look guys say works are "well spaced" but I've neglected to take note.

I give more weight to the most recent workout.

I look for works spaced about 7 days apart. Obviously there are different factors in play that may explain a missed work.

kev you gotta bear in mind that they can play games too with the spacing of works , just like they do with the times

What do you look for in a work? I actually figured that Stay Thirsty was going to run soon based on his last work, 51 and change. Prior to that he'd worked in 48 and change, breezing, so I figured Pletcher was just sending him out for some excercise. Of course he already has experience.............
