Above The Beyond Works Half Mile

Above The Beyond worked a solid half mile Saturday morning over a fast
track at Suffolk Downs. Veteran jockey Angel Vasquez was aboard for the work. They covered the distance in 50 seconds flat, which was eleventh best out of twenty one horses that worked the distance on that day. The tandom galloped straight off down the lane and around the first turn. They broke off at the half mile pole and cruised around the turn. Once again, he switched his leads on cue and continued at a sufficient pace down the lane to the wire, galloping out an additional eighth of a mile. Above The Beyond was asked for a bit more speed for this workout and subsequently tired slightly the last sixteenth of a mile. He cooled out in good order, showing no cramping issues.

Mr. Vasquez was impressed at Above The Beyond's poise and professionalism. He was extremely pleased with the workout and asked if he could work the gelding again.

Above The Beyond will continue to jog and gallop over the next week. If all goes according to plan, he will work another half mile next Saturday, this time in company.
