It’S Silverbulletday, In Practice

Filly Silverbulletday covered 5 furlongs in 0:59 at Churchill Downs, more than a second faster than Triple Crown hopeful Charismatic in the horses’ final workouts before Saturday’s Belmont Stakes.

With regular exercise rider Joanne McNamara aboard, Charismatic covered 5 furlongs in 1:00, galloping out 6 furlongs in 1:14.

Silverbulletday turned in the fastest time of 40 works at 6 furlongs - 1:11-2/5.

Mr. Prospector, who went from an undistinguished racing career to prominence as the nation’s top thoroughbred stallion, was euthanized at the age of 29.

Mr. Prospector came down with the colic and was diagnosed with an inflammation of the membrane lining the abdomen. Acting on the advice of veterinarians, Claiborne Farm owner Seth Hancock had him euthanized at 1:25 p.m.
