Grade 1 winner Adare Manor worked four furlongs at Santa Anita on Monday morning at Santa Anita, her second consecutive bullet drill. The 4-year-old daughter of Uncle Mo covered the distance in 46.4 seconds, the joint fastest of 57 at the distance. She is probable for the Grade 2 Zenyatta on Saturday.

Two graded-stakes winners worked Monday for the first time since their last races. Wicked Halo, a three-time Grade 2 winner, returned to the work tab for trainer Steve Asmussen for the first time since finishing third behind Yuugiri as the odds-on favorite in the Open Mind on Sept. 16 at Churchill Downs. Freeport Joe, who won the Berkeley Handicap (G3) at Golden Gate Fields in 2021, drilled for the first time since an allowance win Jan. 15 at the Bay Area track.
