Duke of Love Workout Report

Duke of Love had his first work this morning at Palm Meadows since his fifth place finish in the Pulpit Stakes two weeks ago. The plan for Duke of Love was to go a half mile in about 49-50 seconds, he completed his work in 49.45 seconds. His usual morning rider, Mel Pinto, owes her timing to a metronome that she wears in her ear to keep track of the pace. Josie Carroll was happy with the work saying “Our shedrow was underwater yesterday and the track isn’t completely dry, but he got over it just fine. The track was a bit slow this morning, but it didn’t seem to borrow the Duke. He scoped clean and is cooling out just fine”.

Josie is currently looking to run Duke of Love in an allowance race on the Tapeta surface at Gulfstream Park. The new condition book should be released soon and when a race is targeted, we will report back.
