Makutus works, Runners at AP

Makutus worked in 51 seconds for a half mile yesterday at CDT. It was his first work since April 13th at Keeneland. He was having some hind end issues after that work and we have given him plenty of time to recover. Aboard for the work was Diego Rodriguez who worked him at Keeneland. Rodriguez said after the work that he felt strong and was smoother in his action than he was this spring when he worked him. Makutus will work another 4 furlongs next Monday or Tuesday. Personally I still feel that he is a very talented horse and look forward to the late summer and fall with him.

E Major has been entered for this Friday the 11th at Arlington Park in a Maiden Special Weight race. The race, which came up tough due to a couple of KY shippers, is a 6 1/2 furlong race on the polytrack. She has been training well and with a lot of speed lined up in the race we may get a favorable trip. Here are the PP's for the race.

Hacker Craft is entered to run on Thursday at Arlington. He is in race 4 which is a $10000 Nw3 LT race which has come up tough due to a few hard droppers. Hacker is training nicely and rates an upset chance with some pace and a good trip. Here are the PP's for this race.
