Workin On A Mystery isn't one of the eligibles for the upcoming 2022 MGM Borgata Pacing Series, but the six-year-old made a statement that he'll be a contender in the open pacing ranks with an impressive seasonal debut on Saturday (Mar. 5)

Sent postward for the first time this season during a qualifying session at The Meadowlands, Workin Ona Mystery sat the pocket behind Caliber (David Miller) through a :30 opening panel and was then right-lined to loop the leader by driver Tim Tetrick. Workin Ona Mystery posted middle splits of :59.2 and 1:27.2, with a five-length cushion on Caliber at the third station extended to seven at the top of the stretch. A sharp :26 closer from Workin Ona Mystery ended the 1:53.2 mile, with seasonally-debuting stablemate This Is The Plan (Yannick Gingras) sprinting home well for second, more than seven lengths in arrears.

Trained by Ron Burke for his Burke Racing LLC along with Ohio-based co-owners Milt Leeman, Alan Keith and Wingfield Brothers LLC, Workin On A Mystery (Captaintreacherous - Dragons Tale) ended his five-year-old campaign on a high note with a runner-up finish to divisional champ Allywag Hanover in the TVG Final and a sharp 1:48.4 Open score at the Big M on Nov. 27 - his most recent pari-mutuel start. Lifetime, the speedy pacer sports a summary of 14-6-4 from 42 starts with $837,539 in earnings.
