Always Hopeful Workout Report

Always Hopeful breezed an official half-mile in 48.00 seconds flat this morning at Charles Town. Under J.D. Acosta, your 4-year-old went three furlongs in 35 and change, galloping out the half on his own to receive the official clocking. Stacey has been very pleased with the progress of Always Hopeful and reports he continues to handle everything great. A few photos prior to his work along with a picture of him in his stall afterward can be seen above.

Next week Always Hopeful will breeze a half-mile and will possibly breeze from the gate. Given the ability to run four and one-half furlongs at Charles Town, it shouldn’t take long for Always Hopeful to come to hand and Stacey feels it’s realistic he will be ready towards the middle to end of June pending all continues well.
