Todays works

Albin worked well over the polytrack at Keeneland this morning. He went a half mile in 51 under a good hold and the exercise rider reported that he had a lot of horse at the end of the work.

Richwood Silver went very well as usual, getting her half in 47.60 at CDT, which was the bullet work for the distance. She looks ready for next Friday night at Turfway.

Carl S. went a strong five furlongs in 101.20 at CDT which was also a bullet work. He galloped out well and blinkers seem to have sharpened his speed. His next race may also be next Friday at Turfway March 27.

Sugarland Star, Operetta Italiano and Shades of Hope worked four furlongs in company with Cherie, Ryan and Pat Johnson riding. Shades of Hope was on the rail, Sugarland Star in the middle and Operetta Italiano on the outside starting out. Cherie on Sugarland Star got hit in the face with a clod of dirt in the turn and couldn't see very well coming into the stretch and didn't ride much on the filly down the stretch. Operetta did well despite losing the ground on the turn and galloped out well and Shades of Hope showed improvement from last weeks work. Next week we will try to get them a work out of the gate.
