Aldebutante returns to CDT

Aldebutante worked from the gate this morning at Churchill training center, going five furlongs in 103.20. She broke a bit slow from the gate, which Cherie blamed herself for, and went nicely without company. We were hoping for 102 and if she had broke a little sharper she would have probably shaded that. Aldebutante cooled out quickly as though the work had little effect on her. We will work her four furlongs on Tuesday and ship her to Belmont sometime later in the week. We will also do a little more gate schooling with her though that was the only time she has broken slow for us. Once she gets to Belmont she will not need to do much, maybe a little schooling in the paddock.
