I know ~ time only matters when you're doing it.

The time doesn't matter at all in this work. She was working in company with a horse that was going his first half so they started off together Rampillion about a length behind the other horse and at the 1/8th pole and drew off willingly.

Just saying it wasn't up there with Hard Spun's last prep before the derby.

I can remember D. Wayne Lukas having a horse working really fast (47 flat breezing for 4f) for the debut. All these other maidens weren't within 2 whole + seconds of this horse's works. Like everyone else I bet it, ~ not one call. Should have known better. Why else would a horse working that 'good' be starting at Turfway

As an aside, I saw Ryan at Keeneland today - but the team was busy slamming the superfecta combos, and she left and I didn't see her again - Hi Ryan! Also have seen Bill W. he's been there since opening.

Yeah..if we wanted to blow her out for absolutely no reason and push her to go :59 or so, we could do it...but that would be pointless, and use her up for our own amusement, and as Cherie said, time wasn't really the focus of this work. The focus was having her sit off a horse and then draw ahead of him and finish up well, which she did willingly and intelligently.

Big hello, Riot

Sorry I never came back to the table yesterday, we were all over the place and then ended up leaving after Kelly's Landing won...but I'm sure we'll run into each other again before the meet is up!!
