Workout Updates

Phosphorescent worked a good half-mile 49.60 on Thursday at the Fair Grounds. The work was 6th of 28 at the distance. Dale's assistant Tom Morgan noted that Phosphorescent is still a little chubby, but he'll work that weight off. Phosphorescent took a little longer to bounce back after the work, so he jogged for an extra day after breezing. His hocks can bite him a bit. Accordingly, he will be on a roughly ten day breeze schedule.


The Defense Rests worked a solid four furlongs in 50:44 on Thursday at Belmont over the training track. The work was 40th of 72 at the distance. The track was not that fast, so this was a nice move forward. He continues to look good as we start to ramp up the pressure with him.
