The big girl is back at the track.  Idiomatic, the gigantic 5-year-old Eclipse-winning mare who towered over the older female dirt-route division during 2023 to the extent she was a finalist for Horse of the Year, is stabled with trainer Brad Cox’s string at Fair Grounds following a winter break at the Kentucky property of her owner and breeder, Juddmonte Farms.  Idiomatic, in fact, has been back with Cox long enough that she had a very minor breeze last weekend, though the work was slow enough it didn’t make the official tab.   “She looks good – really good,” Cox said Wednesday. “She’ll have another work tomorrow.”  Last seen winning the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, Idiomatic could be ready for the $1 million, Grade 1 La Troienne Stakes on May 3 at Churchill Downs, Cox said.  :: Get the Inside Track with the FREE DRF Morning Line Email Newsletter.

He won the Risen Star Stakes and the Arkansas Derby before finishing third in the Kentucky Derby. Angel of Empire has logged five Fair Grounds drills and for the first time got up to five furlongs in his March 3 workout. He could launch his campaign in an allowance race next month at Keeneland.  The 4-year-old filly Wet Paint, a four-time stakes winner in 2023, had her first work since finishing eighth in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff when she went an easy three furlongs on March 4. Wet Paint's last victory came in the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks on July 22. Another 4-year-old filly, Youalmosthadme, worked a similarly slow three-eighths on March 3 and also is expected to start later this spring in Kentucky. A one-turn horse, Youalmosthadme won the Myrtlewood at Keeneland and the Fern Creek at Churchill to cap her 2023 season.  First Mission, a disappointing ninth In the Pegasus World Cup on Jan. 27, has been working steadily toward a start in the March 23 New Orleans Classic or the $600,000 Essex Stakes on the same day at Oaklawn. And Tarifa, winner last month in the Rachel Alexandra, is likely to run next in the Fair Grounds Oaks rather than the Ashland Stakes at Keeneland, Cox said. Tarifa had her first post-Rachel Alexandra work on March 3, going a half-mile in 49.80. Breezing by herself, Tarifa was rank going to the pole before settling down around the far turn and cruising to the wire, her official work time punctuated by a smooth gallop-out.  Our Pretty Woman to make stakes debut Our Pretty Woman will make her stakes debut in the Fair Grounds Oaks, trainer Steve Asmussen said Tuesday. Our Pretty Woman, a Medaglia d’Oro filly owned by Courtlandt Farms, won her maiden in a route race that was rained off turf Jan. 18 and returned to capture a first-level allowance Feb. 17 at Fair Grounds, earning an 82 Beyer Speed Figure. Our Pretty Woman, who fetched $900,000 at a yearling auction, has made both of her starts on sloppy tracks.  Asmussen said plans aren’t set for another 3-year-old filly, Perfect Shot, who was third in the Rachel Alexandra Stakes the same day Our Pretty Woman won her allowance race.   On Feb. 27, the Asmussen-trained Extra Anejo had his first timed workout since finishing fourth in the Haskell Invitational in July, going an easy half-mile. Star-crossed Extra Anejo debuted Oct. 22, 2022, but has made only four starts in a career interrupted by two lengthy layoffs.  More Than Looks returning More Than Looks, who roared home from last of 13 at the stretch call to finish a respectable sixth, beaten two lengths in the Breeders’ Cup Mile, is among the entrants in a high-end allowance race with an $80,000 claiming option on the Saturday card at Fair Grounds.  More Than Looks, a 4-year-old, won the Manila Stakes in July but took a considerable step forward landing the Jefferson Cup on Sept. 30 at Churchill Downs in advance of the BC Mile. The More Than Ready colt could be a leading grass miler in 2024.   He also might not get to run Saturday. A rainy New Orleans forecast suggests his race could be rained onto dirt, and if that happens, trainer Cherie DeVaux said she’d train the colt into the Grade 1 Maker's Mark Mile on April 12 at Keeneland.  DeVaux also has Vahva pointed to the Madison Stakes at Keeneland, and has gotten four breezes into the 4-year-old colt Cagliostro, twice placed in graded dirt-route stakes last summer but still eligible for a first-level allowance.  * Catnip, third by less than one length Jan. 27 in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Turf, will make his next start March 30 in the $5 million Dubai Turf on the Dubai World Cup card. Japan-based jockey Christophe Lemaire has been booked to ride Catnip, according to trainer Michael Stidham, who won the Dubai World Cup with Mystic Guide in 2021.  :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
