Thorpedo Anna works in advance of 4-year-old debut

Freshly crowned Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna got a little more serious prepping for her eagerly awaited 4-year-old debut, working four furlongs in 47.18 seconds shortly after the renovation break here Friday.

Going in company with her Grade 2-placed stablemate Common Defense, Thorpedo Anna posted a 23.06 opening quarter split and galloped out five-eighths in 1:00.59, holding a slight edge to the wire while going along very easily throughout.

Trainer Kenny McPeek recently announced that Thorpedo Anna could make her next start in the Grade 2 Azeri Stakes on March 8 at Oaklawn Park.
