Chuck's update:
Aldebutante and Rampillion both worked this morning at CDT. Under perfect weather of sunny skies and a temperature of 65 degrees, both fillies did well while being asked to perform different tasks. Aldebutante worked from the gate with two other horses, breaking from the inside post under Cherie. She broke alertly, sharp enough to cause Cherie to briefly lose her iron and as such they wound up a few lengths behind the other two. She rated nicely while in behind, taking dirt in her face with no issues. Cherie asked her to pick it up down the lane and Aldebutante responded, gaining ground to the wire and finishing about 1 length behind Colonel Klink. She galloped out well and cooled out in good shape.
Rampillion worked 3 furlongs in company with Operetta Italiano which was their first work together. Rampillion hadn't worked since early June and we weren't looking for much time wise from her. Breaking off inside the other filly, she handled the turn fine and the fillies stayed together right to the wire. She was timed in 38 for the 3 furlongs, galloping out in 52 for 4 furlongs.
