Princess of Sylmar, Close Hatches work toward Ogden Phipps Handicap

Multiple-Grade 1 winners Princess of Sylmar and Close Hatches both put in workouts Monday morning – virtually at the same time – over two different tracks in preparation for the $1 million Ogden Phipps Handicap, which runs June 7.

At around 9:40 a.m. on the training track, Princess of Sylmar worked five furlongs in 1:00.57 in company with Misconnect, a 3-year-old male. They galloped out six furlongs in 1:14.25 and seven furlongs in 1:28.25.

At approximately the same time on the main track, Close Hatches went a half-mile in 48.45 seconds.

Also on Monday, in Southern California, Beholder, the 3-year-old champion filly, also pointing to the Phipps, worked five furlongs in 1:00 at Santa Anita.
