Monday work update

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 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 Fahy's barn at Belmont and will run in John's name as trainer and 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.

Graphite Halo went five furlongs in 105 early in the morning. Cherie started her off slow and she finished up really well. We are trying to get her to be tractable and run at the end of her works which will hopefully make her want to pass horses rather than stay aside them.

Appoint, Carl S. and Normanruth all went easy three furlongs in 39.80, 39.40, and 39.60 respectively. They will all go another three furlongs next week.

Makutus went very well, going 47.80 in his first work since breaking his maiden at Arlington a few weeks ago. He is being pointed to an allowance race going 1 1/8th on opening day, October 3rd at Keeneland.

Richwood Silver went great in her first work since the spring. After getting a brief freshening she has been training forwardly and her 48.40 work was a really nice move with Cherie never letting her really run.
