Brookmeade Stables Oligarchy, who finished second at Gulfstream in his only start since he turned in a remarkable effort for a three -year-old in placing second to Jabneh in the Hialeah Turf Handicap at a mile and a half at the beginning of March, also worked Sunday and again this morning. The Alibhai colt, who may be a supplementary candidate to both the Preakness and Belmont, breezed three furlongs in :38 on Sunday, then came back with a mile in 1:41% today. He appeared to tire very slightly after winging away at a high rate of speed when breaking off. Beam Rider Breezes Six Furlongs King Ranchs Beam Rider and Maine Chance Farms Jet Action worked for the Grey Lag on Sunday, while Happy Hill Farms Kingmaker and Frank C. Rand Jr.s St. Armour II. and Mrs. C. Ulrick Bays Greek Spy breezed for the stakes this morning.
