Aldebutante and Mercury Rising worked four furlongs from the gate this morning at Churchill Downs. They both broke well and stayed together until just past the 1/4 pole when Cherie asked Aldebutante to pick it up and she accelerated away from the colt and finished up the work in 50. Mercury Rising wound up going in 51.2 and simply isnt in the same class as the filly. She will work 5 furlongs next week possibly in company with Makutus and though she wont make the Saratoga race on the 10th it wont be too much longer until she is ready. Mercury will also have a 5 furlong work next week.
Rampillion and Graphite Halo worked together in 39 for 3 furlongs. They stayed together and finished up well and despite the time being a little slow, the work was something that we can build on. They will go a little quicker next week and then stretch out to 4 furlongs after that.
Makutus worked a quick 5 furlongs in 59.60 under jockey Diego Rodriguez. He went very well while in hand and seems like he is really getting close to his return to the races. Makutus is a talented horse who has never really shown what he can do in the afternoons.
Hacker Craft has been entered for Saturday at Arlington Park. He is in the 6th race which is a $10000 nw3 LT race going 1 mile out of the chute. He is listed at 8-1 on the morning line which is strange considering he has been 2nd and 3rd in the same class. PP's
Ship's Cabin has been entered in a maiden $25000 race on the grass on Sunday's Arlington card. He will be stretching out to 1 1/8th in his second start after breaking slow 1st time out and will be adding Lsix second time out. He is listed at 12-1 on the morning line. PP's
