Santa Anita: Game On Dude, Bayern, The Admiral work for Baffert

ARCADIA, Calif. - Wednesday, Game On Dude worked a half-mile in 48 seconds, preparing for a start in the $1.5 million Charles Town Classic in West Virginia on April 19.

Trained by Bob Baffert, Game On Dude won the 2013 Charles Town Classic.

Wednesday, Baffert worked two of his leading 3-year-olds – Bayern and The Admiral.

Bayern worked in company with a stablemate, finishing five furlongs in 1:00. Unbeaten in two starts, Bayern could make his stakes debut in the $1 million Santa Anita Derby on April 5 or the $1 million Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park on April 12. Bayern was entered for the San Felipe Stakes on March 8 but did not start because of a bruised foot.

The Admiral has won his last two starts – a maiden race and an allowance race – and is likely to run in the Santa Anita Derby.
