Last week Movement worked 6 furlongs from the gate in 1:14 and change. she came out of the gate sharply, settled, and bopped back and forth with her workmate, an older horse that was supposed to be in front at the end. She was on the inside and relaxed enough to let the other horse take as much as a 1/2 length lead at times, but then would come on again and take a head lead. They went back and forth for about half a mile before Movement took a permanant lead. Even after three quarters, she galloped out well and was tough to pull up.
This morning she posted a four furlong bullet work in 48 & 3, good for the best time of 17 at the distance.
Were looking to start her in a Maiden 20 claimer on June 7th. Maiden 20 for 3 year olds should be a good sight easier than the same conditions for 2yos because all those good horses at that level have won and moved on. There can always be a big droppers or a late developing horses in the races, though, so a win is by no means assured. I think she will be competitive, though.
