Default Fastest workouts

The three that pop into my head are Candy Ride's two one-mile works before the Pac Classic - Old Trieste's 6f work before the Derby - and Funny Cide's infamous 57.42 before the Belmont.

I'm probably forgetting some very obvious one since it's a subject I don't pay much attention to.

I remember thinking the two by Candy Ride were complete and total BS. He worked a mile in 1:36 1/5 at Del Mar - and a week later worked a mile in 1:35.40. On those same two days - stakes and alw races were going in 1:37 and change. If the track was the same speed in the AM as it was in the PM .. he would have run like Beyers of 107 and 110 with his published work time a week apart.

Tomo brought up the Old Trieste pre-Derby work before - but he worked 6f in 1:09 flat. That afternoon - Personal Risk won a 6f race in 1:09.95 with a 93 Beyer...meaning Old Trieste's time would have registered a 106 Beyer had it come in a race that day.

Anyone have any others?
