Fioretti
Two Hearts Farm and Don Janes' Fioretti, winner of Keeneland's Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes (gr. II) on Oct. 3 in her most recent start, worked five furlongs Oct. 21 at The Thoroughbred Center north of Lexington.
"It was an awesome work," said jockey Sophie Doyle, who notched her first career graded stakes victory in the TCA. "She worked in company and (trainer) Anthony (Hamilton) got her in 1:02 and 2. I was confident before her last race and I am more confident now."

Thoroughbred Center clockers recorded Fioretti in the same time of 1:02 2/5, fastest of four moves at the distance on the day.
Hamilton said the work was similar to the one prior to the TCA in which Fioretti earned a berth in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (gr. I) on Oct. 31.
"I was really happy with it," said Hamilton, who never has had a Breeders' Cup starter. "We plan to come over to Keeneland Tuesday night and be on the track there Wednesday morning."
