I think that it used to be that the tracks were very fast and the trainers felt the horses needed more work to get racing fit than the East Coast trainers. Not to mention that the style of racing was run like hell from the gate and you need to be really fit to excel under those circumstances.That may be a generalization but I really dont have any other theories.

how long has been since you've seen a horse have a recorded work at a mile anywhere?


I notice that there seems to be many more works that are considered h -
handily out west than out east.


when is Aldeb going to run the 6 1/2 sprint on the downhill Santa Anita that is

Bennie Stutts works Smooth Air a mile often. You see Mr. Jerkens' horses in PP's regularly that have been working 7f or a mile. Trombetta works 7f a lot too.

Calder guys do that slow mile work a lot too

ALDEB SET FOR BEL DEBUT AFTER :35.0 GATE BLOW: MIG LIKELY

Aldebutante broke sharp from the gate this morning under Diego Rodriguez in her final work before her first start on Sunday. She was timed in :35.4 for three furlongs and galloped out very strong afterwards. After the work she cooled out quickly and we are working on transportation plans to get her to Belmont later this week.

She is going to trainer John Fahey's barn at Belmont and will run in John's name as trainer. (He will saddle her since I will be busy at the sales this weekend). We have reached out to Richard Migliore and he will definitely ride her if we wind up in the dirt race though my preference right now is to try her on the turf. They will let us know tomorrow if he can be freed up from any commitments in the turf race.

I can't bet Calder so I never bother to keep up with it. (I only bet Churchill twice this year /Oaks and Derby days) The last time I saw a mile work recorded was back in 90 something. it's far from the norm. 3,4 & 5f are.
