WALK THRU FIRE COLT HAS FASTEST TIME ON FIRST DAY OF WORKS AT LOS ALAMITOS
CYPRESS, CA. - MARCH 3, 2010 - Workouts for the 2-year-old class of 2010 got
underway on Tuesday, March 2 at Los Alamitos with 25 promising runners posting
qualifying gate works at 220 yards. The morning standout came from the barn of
all-time leading trainer Blane Schvaneveldt, as he watched the sorrel colt Leave
The Scene scorch the track to the tune of a :12.2 workout. Purchased for $19,200
by Ronnie Brooks and Ron Keller from the Ed Allred consignment at the 2009 Los
Alamitos Equine Sale, Leave The Scene outworked Schvaneveldt's Delightful Check
by 1/10th of a second. She covered the distance in :12.30, tying the Check Him
Out filly for the second fastest time of the morning.
But it was Leave The Scene who was the scene-stealer on Tuesday. A son of Walk
Thru Fire out of the Raise A Secret mare Departing, Leave The Scene posted the
fast time in easy fashion.
"We've liked him a lot all along," Schvaneveldt said. "After we bought from Dr.
Allred we took him to my ranch and we've been training him there. I've had him
at the track for the past 10 days or so. We'll give him his second qualifying
work in a couple of weeks. We let him do it on his own on Tuesday morning. The
rider never even touched him. We'll let the horse do the same for his next work.
He can go as fast as he wants. He's in the Kindergarten Futurity and is just
about all the other futurities at Los Alamitos. (Delightfulcheck) is also in the
Kindergarten. We hope for some nice things from both of them in the future. They
sure worked nice on Tuesday."
Check Over Hope, Chick N Dales Dasher, and Classic Blush also posted workout
times of :12.30. Complete workout times are available at

will also be available starting early next week. For more info, call
