Galaxy Lady is in today's 3rd race at Arlington Park a $5000 NW3L race going 6 furlongs. She will break from post 5 in a field of 8 runners with Brandon Meier aboard. She has never raced on the polytrack surface so we will see how she likes it today.
Aldebutante worked really well this morning at Churchill Downs. she broke off a few lengths behind Mercury Rising going to the 5 furlong pole, caught him after a 1/4 mile, stayed next to him for another eighth then drew away to finish her work in 101.80 and galloped out very well getting the 6 furlongs in 114.20. Her next work will be a blowout before she debuts at Saratoga on the 24th. Mercury simply isn't in her class and tried but could not keep up with her in the stretch. He is leaving for the Finger Lakes later this week and should run before the month is out.
Makutus is doing well and will work on Saturday morning which will be his final tuneup before his return at Arlington Park on August 23rd going 1 mile on the polytrack.
Rampillion and Graphite Halo worked four furlongs this morning at Churchill Downs. This was both horses first work further than three furlongs and it went fine. Graphite Halo started behind Rampillion by about a length and stayed there till deep in the stretch where she moved alongside of the other filly and they finished together. Graphite Halo galloped out very strong and was bouncing on the way home. Rampillion got a bit tired and did not gallop out as far or fast as the other filly. Both fillies have been very good in the gate and don't need a lot more work there. Rampillion should be ready sometime in September most likely at Turfway Park while Graphite Halo may also be ready about the same time but will start at Belmont in NYB races.
Fading Light worked very well under Diego Rodriguez covering her four furlongs in 48.60 while under quite a bit of restraint. This was the first work for her since her comeback race and she did it very nicely. Arlington's next condition book will be coming out soon and we will be looking for a spot there. E Major has been training great in recent days while equipped with blinkers which she will wear for the first time in her next start on the 22nd of August at AP on the grass.
Appoint continues to train well as does Richwood Silver. Basketwoman is going to start light training on the aqua pacer at BEC this week while Bob's Bean and Bubble Berry are going to start a more aggressive training program after they both had a nice break and some light training.
Cool Clue is close to his return to regular training and Italiano Operetta and Jacques Sparrow are heading in the opposite direction, soon moving to BEC for some additional rest.
