Brookdale Racing, Mark Edwards, Judy Hicks and Magdalena Racing's Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) posted her final work Saturday at Saratoga in preparation for Saturday's GI Cotillion Stakes at Parx Racing.
Trained by Kenny McPeek, the GI Kentucky Oaks winner covered five furlongs in 1:00.20 over the Oklahoma dirt training track under regular exercise rider Danny Ramsey.
McPeek, who is currently at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, said the report on the filly's work was positive.
“All accounts are that she worked super and came out super,” said McPeek. “She's doing great at Saratoga.”
Thorpedo Anna was last seen finishing second to reigning Champion 2-Year-Old Colt Fierceness in the Aug. 24 GI DraftKings Travers at the Spa. She has won three Grade Is this year, including the DK Horse Acorn during the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival at Saratoga, and the Coaching Club American Oaks at the Spa.
Parx will be the fifth track Thorpedo Anna has raced over.
“She's all set and will probably ship down the day before,” said McPeek. “She's handled everything else she's ever done, I don't know why she wouldn't handle that.”
Thorpedo Anna has remained at Saratoga since the Travers and has posted two works, the other being a half-mile in :50.80 seconds on Sept. 7.
