Aqueduct: Sweet Reason working toward 2014 debut

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Sweet Reason, trainer Leah Gyarmati’s Grade 1-winning filly, worked six furlongs in 1:18.91 over a slow Belmont Park training track Sunday. It was her sixth work since returning to training following a brief freshening after her fourth-place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

Sweet Reason worked in company but pulled away from her workmate in the final furlong. Though the time was slow – the training track yielded slow times over the weekend – Gyarmati called it “a useful work.”

“She did that very easily, but she should have,” Gyarmati said. “She galloped out good, got something out of it.”

Gyarmati said she hasn’t made a definitive plan for Sweet Reason but has previously mentioned the $100,000 Caesar’s Wish at Laurel Park on March 8 as a possible prep for the Grade 2 Gazelle at Aqueduct on April 5.
