Hronis Racing LLC's Accelerate (Lookin At Lucky), early favorite for the Aug. 18 GI TVG Pacific Classic Aug. 18, worked six furlongs in 1:12.20 Sunday morning. With assistant trainer Juan Leyva up, the 5-year-old reeled off fractions of :13.00, :25.40, :37.20 and :59.80, completing the final quarter in :23.60.
“Super, really sharp,” said trainer John Sadler. “A very good work, so we're right where we're supposed to be and we're very pleased.”
According to Sadler, this season's GI Gold Cup and GI Santa Anita H. winner is slated to record his final major work ahead of the Pacific Classic Sunday.
