Sundays Works

Aldebutante and Rampillion both worked this morning, albeit in far different manners. Rampillion worked a slow half mile in company with Inky Blanford. Inky was acting rank before the work and as a result both horses wound up breaking off very slow. Rampillion did everything right, switching leads and finishing her last quarter in about 25 seconds. She will do some gate work this week when she gets over to Churchill.

Aldebutante worked very well while in company with Jacques Sparrow, a Ten Most Wanted colt. She was outside of him going to the pole and stayed there under a tight hold by Cherie until they reached the top of the stretch. Cherie tapped her once on the shoulder with the whip and Aldebutante responded by accelerating past the colt and finishing strong right through the wire. She was about 5 lengths clear at the finish in 48.20 and galloped out nicely in 103 for 5 furlongs. Afterwards she was a bit winded but it was very hot so that could be a factor. She will do some gate schooling this week and may work out of the gate again next week.
