Picking up her first graded stakes win and third victory from four starts this year in yesterday's Grade 3 Noble Damsel with Irish-bred Off Limits for owner Martin Schwartz, trainer Chad Brown reported the 5-year-old returned from the race in good order.
"She ran extremely well," said Brown. "She's had a really good year this year. We've just been really patient with her and let her come around and now we've seen the best of her.
Overlooking a bevy of stakes contenders on the turf this morning, Brown was pleased with a number of works from his stable pointing for stakes this fall.
Heading into next Saturday's Grade 1 Joe Hirsch, multiple graded stakes winner Beach Patrol, who last out won the Grade 1 Arlington Million worked in company with Million runner-up Fanciful Angel, who was transferred to Brown after that race. The pair breezed five furlongs on the turf in 1:00.20 with dogs up.
"They each looked great," said Brown. "They both remain on target for the Joe Hirsch."
Following a fifth-place finish while trying dirt for the first time in the Grade 1 Alabama on August 19 at Saratoga, multiple graded stakes winner New Money Honey breezed five furlongs on the turf in 1:00.60 and would next point for the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth at Keenland according to Brown.
"She was terrific," said brown. "I'm really happy with her."
Multiple graded stakes winner Roca Rojo worked in company with Rymska, breezing five furlongs in 1:01.66 for starts in the Grade 1 First Lady at Keeneland and Commonwealth Oaks at Laurel Park, respectively.
Lastly, Brown reported that Time Test, who worked four furlongs in 49.49, would be pointing for the Grade 1 Shadwell Mile, while multiple graded stakes winner Lady Eli put in a maintenance half-mile work on the dirt in 48.88 and remained on target for Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.
