Even before the San Felipe, Indian Blessing had done enough to make Baffert smile."I'm happy with her," he said. "She worked very well; so far, so good."

America's champion female sprinter last year, Indian Blessing has been working brilliantly over the last month, recording two bullet moves in addition to two other breezes that have been near bullets. Saturday's move was the third fastest of 69 workouts over five furlongs at Santa Anita.

"That was her major workout," Baffert said. "Once (our horses) get over to Dubai, we don't do too much with them over there (prior to racing)."

While fellow Dubai Golden Shaheen contender Black Seventeen turned in a more leisurely workout at Santa Anita on Saturday, covering five furlongs in 1:01.20, trainer and co-owner Brian Koriner also was pleased with what he saw.

"Everything is good," Koriner said. "He worked pretty aggressively today and looked nice."
