Chamberlain Bridge Works at Fair Grounds

Carl Moore Management’s Chamberlain Bridge, hero of the Grade II Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs on Nov. 6, breezed three furlongs in 39.40 Friday morning at Fair Grounds in preparation for a possible first start back in Fair Grounds’ $60,000 Colonel Power Stakes Feb. 19.

“We got just what we wanted,” said trainer Bret Calhoun later in the day. “We just wanted something easy. We’ve been ‘two-minute-licking’ it with him lately and we just wanted to get a work into him.”

Also on Friday’s worktab were Wachtel Stable, Brous Stable and J. D. Lee’s Desert Wheat, who breezed a half in 50.80, as well as Moran Racing Stable’s Classy Deelites, who went five-eighths in 1:02.80. Both those Louisiana-breds were prepping for Fair Grounds’ $60,000 Dixie Poker Ace Stakes at about a mile over the Stall-Wilson turf course on Jan. 8.
