Dayoutoftheoffice gets back to work

OLDSMAR, Fla. – Dayoutoftheoffice, runner-up in the Nov. 6 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies in her most recent start, breezed a half-mile Friday at Tampa in 49.40 seconds in her first timed workout since Jan. 24.

Trainer Tim Hamm has been insistent that he can make the April 30 Kentucky Oaks with Dayoutoftheoffice, with one qualifying prep in the interim. Dayoutoftheoffice, winner of the Schuylerville and Frizette last year in New York, was 22-1 in the Kentucky Oaks Future Wager that closed Sunday.

It’s been a difficult last few months for the top finishers in the Juvenile Fillies. The winner, Vequist, was defeated by 26 lengths in the Davona Dale in her only subsequent attempt, while third-finisher Girl Daddy has yet to breeze this year after taking ill several weeks ago.
