Wednesday works: 11 graded-stakes winners have breezes

Grade 1 winner Stilleto Boy, who is being prepared for opening day next month at Santa Anita, returned to the work tab with a breeze Wednesday morning at Golden Gate Fields.

Victorious in the Santa Anita Handicap (G1) in March, the 5-year-old Shackleford gelding who is handled by the Moger brothers was clocked at 52.2 seconds covering a half-mile on the Tapeta track. It was Stilleto Boy’s third weekly workout since he got a break after finishing last in the Awesome Again (G1) on Sept. 30.
