Charles Fipke’s homebred sophomore filly Forever Unbridled, who will hope to emulate her full-sister of the inverse name and win the Listed $125,000 Silverbulletday Stakes, signaled her readiness in a big way on Sunday morning. Working over a deep Fair Grounds Race Course surface, the daughter of Kentucky Oaks winner Lemons Forever blitzed a half-mile in :48.80 – good for a bullet among 114 works at the distance. 

 
“She was great,” said trainer Dallas Stewart – who also conditioner her sister and dam. “She worked very well and did it very easy and came back good. She’s very healthy right now and coming into the race great. She’s had a race over the track and been working consistently.”
 
The bay filly is exiting a one mile and 70 yard (the same course and distance as the Silverbulletday) maiden win on Dec. 12 in which she gamely stalked and pounced en route to a 2 ¼-length victory in her second career start. Brian Hernandez, Jr., who was up for said victory, has the return mount in Saturday’s 23rd running of aforementioned event.

GOOD DEED EXITS PAN ZARETA WELL, TO TAKE HER SHOW ON THE ROAD
Richard and Bertram Klein’s Good Deed, a dominant winner of Saturday’s $60,000 Pan Zareta Stakes, came out of her second victory of the meet in good shape, according to trainer Steve Margolis.

“Everything is good today,” Margolis said. “The owners were both very happy with the win. She’s been a really good horse for us and is healthy. With winning two races back-to-back impressively, we’re very pleased. It’s always hard when you’re the heavy favorite because anything can happen – but she’s a pro and likes to win. We’ll look at Fountain of Youth day next with her.”

As hinted by her conditioner, the five-time stakes winner is now a prime candidate for the $75,000 Ladies Turf Sprint on Feb. 21 at Gulfstream Park as her next race.
