I don't pay any attention to Calder or Monmouth. so you got me there.
Read the explanation the link provided. That's what I've heard before but Handily times are almost always faster. I liked reading the free clocker's reports on BrisNET. They told you what was happening.

Breezing means he was being asked to do more. Hand means just what it says In Hand not being asked to do anything not within itself.

Breezing
is when a horse is working without being asked
Handily is when a horse is asked for more in a work, really urged. sorry but it seems a lot of you are misinformed

i do believe breezing means with ease, handily with some urging....yeah, what iron said! you know breezing--it was a breeze meaning easy.
speaking of what things mean...anyone know where 'furlong' came from?? One eighth of a mile. Originally a "furrow long" or the length of a plowed field.

Today at Saratoga the workouts show a mix of Breezing and Handily works, a few of each from the gate. Seems like useful info.
But at Delmar they all show Handily works, a couple from the gate. Is that to say every trainer wanted some urging from the rider? Doesn't seem likely.

DRF form notes defines "handily" as "moderate speed, but more speed than 'breezing' ".
Against what they sound like they mean to my ears!
