Movement worked three furlongs yesterday, although the official clocker caught her with the gallop out for a half in 50:4. Trainer Jamey Thomas says she went the 3 in about 37.Gate Master
She Worked from the gate and broke extremely well again. Then, what’s even more promising, she relaxed once in to stride. In the past, the rider always had to fight her not to go full bore, but this time the light bulb went on. Jamey said "It looks like, all of a sudden, she figured it out." He’ll probably work her a half mile for real, next.
Out of the Wildnerness
The goalposts keep changing, but right now we’re pointing for a start the first week of the Golden Gate meet, which opens August 25. I’m wicked anxious to see her race, but it feels good to know we’re doing the right things for what we think will be a pretty useful horse. Also, Jamey’s numbers are always better at Golden Gate than they are at Bay Meadows. I’ll take every advantage we can get.

That first picture is fantastic. If it was a little wider I would stick it on my desktop.
Can't wait to see how Movement does, I think it's about time I added her to my virtual stable.
great update, I am getting excited for you and Movement...definitely reserving a w/p/s bet for her first race!
