Hronis Racing's Edgeway, runner-up in last year's Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1) at Del Mar, completed her major preparations for this year's renewal Sunday at Keeneland.
The 5-year-old Competitive Edge mare breezed five furlongs in 1:00.20 under Juan Leyva. The work was the fastest of 14 timed moves at the distance.
“We looked at the weather and made up our minds this morning to work, even though it was coming back in five days,” trainer John Sadler said, alluding to a forecast that called for rain most of the day Sunday and into Monday. “She went a minute and change and galloped out (six furlongs) in 1:13, and she was well within herself. It was very good – nice and smooth.”
It was the second local work for Edgeway, who fired a bullet half-mile in :46 last Tuesday.
“She is coming into this race very similar to last year,” Sadler said. “She repeated in the Rancho Bernardo (G3) (Aug. 28), and she was flattered by the (Todd) Fincher filly (Slammed), who (was second in the Rancho Bernardo) won the (Thoroughbred Club of America [G2]) here. We are in good shape, and she runs well fresh.”
