Full Serrano made a significant comeback on Friday, marking his first appearance since his victory in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. This 5-year-old son of Full Mast, trained by John Sadler, has shown remarkable form with a 2-for-3 record after starting his career in Argentina. His recent workout of four furlongs in 49.6 seconds at Santa Anita placed him 39th out of 51 at the distance.

Next Races and Potential Targets

Full Serrano is set to make his next start on December 26 in the Laffit Pincay Jr. Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita. After that, he could be pointed towards the Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) on January 25 or the Saudi Cup (G1) in Saudi Arabia on February 22. This shows the high expectations and potential for this talented horse.

Workout Details and Comparisons

His Friday workout was just one of many notable ones among the graded-stakes winners. For example, Exaulted (Twirling Candy) worked four furlongs in 49.8 seconds at The Thoroughbred Center, ranking sixth out of 17 at the distance. Express Train (Union Rags) blazed through five furlongs in 59.6 seconds at Del Mar, being the fastest of eight works.
