Above The Beyond worked his second three quarters of a mile on Saturday, covering the distance in 1:17 flat with veteran rider Vernon Bush in the saddle. The first three eighths of the workout went easily, with the duo picking up the pace as they hit the quarter pole. They finished up the last quarter of a mile strong, and galloped out past the finish line another quarter of a mile. Above The Beyond did get quite tired from his effort, drinking over half a bucket of water. He did cool out very well, though, with no signs of cramping. Vernon Bush, who was subbing for rider Angel Vasquez, was extremely pleased with the workout and commented that he would be very interested in riding Above The Beyond.
Above The Beyond will return to galloping this week and will visit the gate on Tuesday. If all goes according to plan, he will work another three quarters of a mile this Saturday.
