Seems the last thread got a bit off track so will try to be a bit more precise and analyze the workouts for todays nightcap at Saratoga. Typical, though not split maiden for fillies and mares three and up.
From the rail out and with brevity in mind;
DISCERNING: Nothing ever discerning with how the "chief" prepares one. Five works in fifteen days with the first one the only gate move very odd, but this filly adds the hood and that is never good off the fence for a green animal. Outsider.
Fashion Queen: Aptly named daughter of Montbrook for Calvin Klein boss has a very interesting pattern. Three panels June 29 followed very quickly by half mile four days later points this one out immediately as a runner. Another half brought a week off (or more likely a miss by the clockers) and a ship here, but next move very quick scoring 4th best of 44 and accomplished handily. Five eights follows, then a good looking gate half, followed by very salty five eigths all in timely fashion. Her last half, out of the gate again, salty win early pedigree and very capable first out conditioner makes this one the one to beat. Looks like a runner.
WHAT TIME IT IS: Started twice as a juvenile, both in added money events and ran creditably. Solid works for solid trainer with money work eleven days ago. Homebred been off a while and oddly adds blinks. Lots of questions here and little price. Pass.
DOWELL HOUSE: Danzig homer here as one of two 4yo's been working on the farm with eight works in as many weeks. The last two works are very interesting as she was the only one to work?? Shipped to Dutrow, he gives her a month off then a nothing half?? J. R, up and these connections like to put one over. Great pedigree. Probably practice but tough call here!
CLERICO: Decent moves in Florida but the wheels came off in Kentucky with a very blah fiver worst of 22. Not a good sign at all. Two months later another nothing three panel effort at Fair Hill, then a gap of a couple of weeks before working steady if not slow. Nice pedigree for this homer being a half to Offlee Wild and EQ nasty debut dad (16%) but only one gate move and Matz history says practice. Pass.
BATIDAS : The other 4yo has been out six times and has a race over the surface but would do well to get on the exotic fringes.
ETRO: Another who has a race over the track finishing an even fourth opening week. Worked over the poly in Lexington and as most of this trainers stock worked well. Two works since that debut, both in company, another trait of Biancone but even with expected improvment a minotr placing at best.
MISS BARRISTER: 350K yearling from the Lewis trust shows a serious six furlong (1:12.60) move in early June at Keeneland indicating copious amounts of talent. Moved to Churchill for three drills, each faster than the other before solid wet fast half here Aug 6th. The hand half Aug 19th the best move on the page. Dollase almost never fires first out but this one clearly has talent and the leading rider lands here. Threat.
PERFECT NATURAL: Three speedy outs have resulted in a third, fourth and a second downstate last month at 6-5. Clemente 400K Forestry filly shows a very odd gate work Aug 6th, has a very ouchy pedigree, gaps in her schedule and simply has not run fast enough to win without serious and dubious improvement.
EMKEL: Steady works for Russo but a bit on the slow side. Last two on the lawn and although nice precocity in pedigree an outsider.
DARJEELING: Four nondescript outs without a money finish convinces Toner to put the blinkers back on. Off since April and even with back to back bullets this one looks like she will need this.
LADYWELL PARK Off since late Februay when off in a tangle at 30-1 this one is tough to gauge. Pedigree screams gas but works show none of it. Not much to beat this spot and trainer good off the shelf makes this pricy yearling enticing at a big big number.
SILENT STREET: This filly appears to have a grass on grass pedigree given the the NIght Shifts can have a shoe the size of Syracuse but Ian says not yet. Clearly she has some talent but some issues. Pass.
Not meant to be the end all but a look at how I evaluate not only the works, but the gaps,distances, solo, in company etc. A tough game sure; but a fun one! BBB
