I like to look for 7f or 1m workouts, but I notice that these are quite rare except among the West Coast trainer "colony", a fact I've never quite understood.

I personally like to see a 7 Fur or 1 Mile work into a horse that will race at 6 Fur or 7 Fur
you used to see that alot in the "old days" - not so much anymore these horses tend to be "fit" |

A lot of good information in this thread, but I will add that I'm generally partial to first-time starters/layoff horses who have a series of longer works punctuated by a quick 3-furlong blowout a few days before the race. I find it's often the sign of a more fully cranked runner.

A solid 5F workout since last race and within the last 4 weeks increases ROI significantly.

Here is a GREAT column that highlights the amount of gamesmanship and coverage that would go into morning workouts 100 years ago.
