Ausable Chasm (:35.0) sharp; Seeks 'extra' race
AUSABLE CHASM turned in a visually impressive work on the Spa main Saturday morning getting 3f in :35.0 under Victor Santiago, her second recorded drill since finishing 6th in her July 25 debut. The Dee Tee color-bearer broke off at the three-eigths pole having moved comfortably down the backstretch and into the turn, cutting the corner smoothly, changing leads on her own, motoring through the lane with very little urging, and galloping out past the wire for a half in :47.1.
Santiago, who will most likely get the call in Ausable Chasm's second start, told Gary Sciacca the Hook and Ladder miss was noticeably better and more relaxed than in her drill last week, doing everything on her own. The spin will likely get the 3f main track bullet. Gary has inquired with the Racing Office of the possibility of an extra 5.5f 2yo NYB filly race being written for the end of the coming week, and if PJ Campo uses one, AUSABLE CHASM would enter. More after the full list of works is posted at DRF.
In other news, LLOYDOBLER is on his way back to Saratoga from the Ft. Edward farm where he has been turned out, and will resume training...
