Interesting 2yo @ Belmont

Kelly Breen filly named Sunday Sonnet, going in Race 3 on Friday (5/1 ml).
The Breen 2yo's are difficult to get information on because he doesn't tend to work them in company very often (and it's harder to identify even when they do, thanks to Monmouth using .20 increments in their workout listings).
Here's what caught my eye though: Her 4-furlong workout on June 15 was the second-fastest out of 161 workers at the distance that day, but despite that, Sunday Sonnet's drill was given a "handily" designation, which only a small handful of those 161 horses was given. Probably a very good sign. In fact, that's the same thing that happened to catch my eye back when i was taking a second look @ Social Inclusion's worktab after his big maiden win early this year.
I'm not suggesting that Sunday Sonnet is anything like Social Inclusion, but i do think that it's noteworthy when you see one of the fastest workers getting the "under a hold" designation (handily on the East Coast, or breezing on the West Coast). Especially so when it's a 2yo first time starter. It might indeed mean something.

Might take a chance on her.
Plus, Sunday Sonnet is the one who got shipped to Belmont, whereas Jackie O'Mine stayed @ Monmouth. Pretty easy to deduct that Jackie O'Mine is the lesser-regarded of the two.
