Black Tie Optional is looking sharp!!
Black Tie Optional had his first work at Santa Anita Park, breezing three furlongs in :36.60 while on the inside of Gamine ‘23. The goal was to get the duo acclimated to the new surface, which is why we saw the cut back to 3/8 despite both previously having breezed two half-miles at Los Alamitos. We expect he will be firing back next week with a half-mile workout.
