ARCADIA, Calif. – Dortmund, unraced since winning the Native Diver Stakes at Del Mar in November, worked six furlongs in 1:12 on Friday in preparation for the $500,000 San Antonio Stakes at Santa Anita on Feb. 6.

According to Santa Anita clockers, Dortmund worked the first half-mile in 47.40 seconds and galloped out seven furlongs in 1:25.60.
