Workouts: Miller veterans are among 14 graded winners on tab

Ginóbili and C Z Rocket, two geldings who have combined to make 64 starts in their long careers, were back on the track Wednesday morning for their trainer Peter Miller.

Twelve days after they made their 2024 debuts at Santa Anita, 7-year-old Ginóbili and 10-year-old C Z Rocket had solo, half-mile breezes at San Luis Rey Downs. Ginóbili was clocked at a bullet 46.4 seconds and C Z Rocket at 48.0 seconds.
