Back in Training
The sensational three-year-old filly Magnificience returned to training two weeks ago and is about six weeks away from her first workout in months for trainer Bruce Headley, reports Daily Racing Form:
Magnificience attracted attention last winter with a brilliant debut win at Santa Anita, in which, after walking out of the gate and trailing the field by 10 lengths during the first quarter, she made a big move up on the outside and surged away to a 6 1/2 length lead (video). She followed up that scintillating performance with a record-setting romp in the Santa Paula Stakes (video). Considered a potential rival to Rags to Riches last spring, Magnificience was sidelined in April with a chip in her left front ankle. Much to prove, but very exciting to have this one back.
