A pair of contenders for next Saturday's GIII Mr. Prospector S. tuned up for the race with half-mile works in Florida Sunday. Herman Van Den Broeck's Singanothersong (Songandaprayer) covered the distance in :47.60 at Gulfstream Park West, the fastest of 19 works at the distance Sunday. The 5-year-old captured the Mr. Prospector S. in 2013. Eighth in the six-furlong race last year, he is coming off a fifth-place effort in Gulfstream's Sept. 19 Treasure Coast S.
“I thought it was a good move for him,” trainer Ron Pellegrini said. “We'll see how he cools out and how he's acting the next day or two, but everything looks to be on schedule.”
Red and Black Stable's Weekend Hideaway went four furlongs in :49.47 over Gulfstream's main track. He won a five-furlong allowance by a front-running 6 1/4 lengths at Gulfstream Nov. 16–his first victory since the Sunshine Millions Sprint Jan. 17 at Gulfstream.
“He went very easily,” trainer Phil Serpe said. “He's a good work horse. We're going to look the race over and kind of see who might be going in there, but it's definitely a target for us.”
