Oscar Performance Back on Work Tab

Oscar Performance working Monday | Sarah Andrew

Amerman Racing's Oscar Performance (Kitten's Joy) returned to the worktab for the first time since being pulled up near the wire of the Aug. 11 GI Arlington Million. The 4-year-old worked four furlongs over the Oklahoma turf course Monday in :49.43 (8/57).

“He breezed by himself, we just wanted to get a feel for him without putting him under too much pressure,” trainer Brian Lynch said. “He was nice and comfortable and got his first work back.”

Oscar Performance, who received a clean bill of health from Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital after he was vanned off the track at Arlington, is expected to make his next start in the Oct. 6 GI Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland. Also pointing for that million-dollar race is stablemate Heart to Heart (English Channel).

“They're on a collision course,” Lynch said with a laugh. “They both seem real good.”
