Sunday tab: Wondrwherecraigis fires 2nd bullet in a row
Wondrwherecraigis, who hasn't had a start since September, had his second consecutive bullet work at Laurel Park on Sunday.
The 6-year-old son of Munnings went five furlongs in a minute flat for trainer Brittany Russell. On March 5, he breezed four furlongs in 47.0 seconds.
Wondrwherecraigis posted a 2022 record of 5: 1-2-0, with his win coming in the black-type Fire Plug Stakes at Laurel Park in January.
Russell told Horse Racing Nation in December that after he finished second by a head in a September allowance race, “he just seemed like he might have been a little more tired after the Dubai run than we thought," referring to his trip to the United Arab Emirates for the Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1), where he finished 10th..
