Earlier this morning at Betfair Hollywood Park, Eblouissante -- a three-year-old half sister to 2010 Horse of the Year Zenyatta -- turned in her first workout since being scratched from an allowance race on December 16th.
Her breeze was five furlongs in distance, and she recorded an impressive time of 1:00 minute flat. It was the sixth fastest work of the morning at that distance.
The daughter of Bernardini had broken her maiden in impressive fashion on November 16th and was expected to be heavily favored in the December allowance race. However, after banging her hip in the receiving barn prior to the race, her connections chose to scratch from the race and regroup.
Trained by John Shirreffs, Eblouissante is expected to make the second start of her career during the first month of the Santa Anita meet, which begins December 26th. One possible goal is the $500,000 La Canada Stakes (gr. II), a 1 1/16th miles race scheduled to be run on January 20th.
