I have been playing with a database, where I take every workout for a card I download and put in the file with the specific trainer attached to the horse. Depending on the track, if I group say 5 furlong works at Gulfstream together for a week, I have over 400 works. Gate works might be 50? A trainer like a Pletcher might have 100 gate works for the meeting. If I rank these by track, it is giving me an idea of where par, for lack of a better word for a horses work at a track would be when the horse could be ready for a big effort. If you look at the works for S.S. Pinafore in the 7th yesterday at GP, I thought she should be claimed because she was displaying works that were equal to many horses at a higher level than her, and perhaps like a full brother of hers who was a stakes horse she was figuring out how to run at 4 years of age. We'll see, we didn't get her, someone else won the shake!
