Fillies by Cherokee Run and Songandaprayer   were among the fastest workers Friday during an under tack show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s March select sale of 2-year-olds in training in Central Florida. They both drilled an eighth of a mile in :10.

Mayberry Farm, agent, is the consignor of the bay daughter of Cherokee Run.
