Outwork Filly Finds The Lawn To Her Liking

November 16, 2020

After two solid showings in off-the-turf races, Traffic Lane made her first start on the grass a winning one Sunday at Aqueduct.

The 2-year-old daughter of Outwork tussled with Candace O for the entire 1 1/16-mile trip. Candace O was the pacesetter and had the lead most of the way, but Traffic Lane wore her down in the final stages to win by three-quarters of a length.

The winner is owned by Repole Stable and was bred by Oak Lodge Bloodstock. Traffic Lane is the second foal out of Irish-bred Katie Lane, who is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Tap Day.

Traffic Lane is Outwork’s third winner in the past six days, and upped his overall First-Crop total to 14. He also became one of just four freshman sires to surpass the $1 million mark in progeny earnings. Outwork’s 2021 fee was recently announced at $15,000 S&N.

I think I bet every one of the horses named in Tracking Trips. On what I consider to be a subpar day for PTW - 5 winners, 11 losers who finished 2nd or worse. But a $2 Win bet on every pick, even with 5 out of 16, would have netted $19.06. I'll never starve...
