Work All Week draws outside post in Aristides

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Work All Week will start from the outside post in a field of seven older horses Saturday when making his first start since he won the Breeders’ Cup Sprint last fall. Bred and owned in Illinois by Midwest Thoroughbreds, the 6-year-old gelding will have Florent Geroux back aboard as a heavy favorite in the Grade 3, $100,000 Aristides.

From the rail, the lineup for the six-furlong Aristides is Alsvid, Viva Majorca, Googleado, Gentlemen’s Bet, Nates Mineshaft, Good Lord, and Work All Week.

The six-furlong Aristides goes as race 8 and will be directly followed by the $65,000 Opening Verse, a 1 1/16-mile turf race in which Midwest Thoroughbreds also has The Pizza Man making his 6-year-old debut. Departing and Regally Ready are among the opposition in a field of 10.
