Fireball Birdie Workout Report

Fireball Birdie had his first official breeze this morning at Churchill Downs, covering a half-mile in :53.60. Working in company on the outside of a $550,000 son of Gun Runner Holster, who also just shipped in from Laredo, Texas with your colt. This was a typical first work in the Asmussen barn, having the riders up in the saddle throughout the early stages and only asking our son of Uncle Mo the final sixteenth to the wire and on the gallop out.

The work times will never be flashy with new 2-year-olds in the Asmussen barn, but following a couple of easy breezes Steve will begin to ask him for a bit more. The good sign is that our son of Uncle Mo was able to start back his training where he left off.
