Santa Anita: Beholder coming along
Tom Keyser Beholder worked three furlongs in 34.80 Monday for her first start since winning the Breeders' Cup Distaff.
ARCADIA, Calif. - Beholder, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2013, continues to train toward a springtime comeback. Monday, Beholder breezed three furlongs in 34.80 seconds, the fastest of 21 recorded works at the distance.
In Southern California, horses are typically described as working in a handily fashion, but Beholder earned the designation of breezing with an easier workout.
