Duke of Love worked five furlongs over the all-weather surface at Woodbine yesterday morning. Starting in behind horses, Josie Carroll instructed her rider to bring him through on the rail to finish up together in a time of 1:00.80. Josie was very impressed with the way Duke of Love handled getting kickback and how easily he went through the opening when asked.

Duke of Love worked five furlongs in company yesterday morning on the all-weather surface at Woodbine in a time of 1:04.20. The slow work, good for 54th out of 57 for the morning, was done by design. This was Duke of Love’s first five-furlong work and Josie Carroll usually instructs her riders to go slow and not let horses do too much when stretching out in distances. You can see in the attached video that Duke of Love was able to complete the work easily, while pulling away from his workmate to the inside of him.
Josie added that our 2-year-old Ontario-bred Cupid colt is just a few works away from running, and should make his afternoon debut in early November.
