Titletown Five, who broke his maiden by nine lengths last October, returned to the work tab after a lengthy absence when he breezed three furlongs at Oaklawn Park this morning.
The son of Tiznow out of D' Wildcat Speed clocked the distance in :37 1/5, the fifth-fastest of the nine morning works at that distance.
Trained by D. Wayne Lukas, Titletown Five lost the first three starts of his career while competing against horses such as CashCall Futurity (gr. I) winner Violence, recent Gulfstream allowance winner Orb, Mountaineer Juvenile Stakes winner Maybe So, and the impressive Gulfport. In his fourth start, a seven-furlong maiden special weight at Churchill Downs, Titletown Five went straight to the lead and never looked back, winning by nine lengths over subsequent allowance winner Bradester and recent Fair Grounds maiden winner Proud Strike.
Titletown Five went to the sidelines shortly thereafter with an ankle chip. Today's breeze marks his first official workout since then. He is expected to return to the races sometime toward the end of March.
