Works with video: Muth is 1 of 8 graded-stakes winners on tab

Muth, the morning-line favorite who was scratched from the
Preakness after trainer Bob Baffert said he spiked a fever, was back on the
work tab Thursday for the second week in a row.

The $2 million colt owned by Zedan Racing Stables was clocked
going a half-mile in 48.0 seconds on the main track at Santa Anita. That was
where the son of Good Magic worked on the Tapeta training track last Thursday,
going five furlongs in 1:02.4.

target is the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 2 at Del Mar.
