Seize The Grey Runs 2nd Bullet Work

Well, that didn't go according to plan. 

Seize The Grey runs his second bullet work this morning--this one faster than last week. Sub-36 seconds for 3 furlongs!

While his time is eye-opening, it wasn't what trainer D. Wayne Lukas was looking for, according to his analysis on the last work. We'll report back when we hear what he has to say about "Ceasar" and we get more details about his work out. 

Work Out Report Follow-up

Seize the Grey breezed three furlongs on the outside of a trio of horses for D. Wayne Lukas. Stopping the clock in 35.20 seconds, this was the second straight bullet for Seize the Grey. The colt did everything correctly during the work, but was a bit slower in his gallop out compared to one of his workmates. This is understandable as they went very quick and Seize the Grey traveled a further distance being three-wide off the rail. 

After the breeze, D. Wayne Lukas said in a video interview that our colt has been nothing but a professional since entering his barn. D. Wayne also hints at a possible start in June, which will come at Churchill Downs. The soonest we could possibly see Seize the Grey is in a maiden special weight going 5 ½ furlongs on June 15th with a purse of $120,000.

Edited to add: One of the partners did some research and apparently the two horses working with him were Social Affair, a grey/roan Munnings filly (sold for $425k at auction) and Just Steel, a bay colt by Justify (sold for 500k at auction). Definitely some quality workmates.
