II) for 4-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles.The $2.2 million Irish-bred son of Danzig blew out three furlongs Wednesday morning at Hollywood in :36 flat."He worked super," trainer Beau Greely said. "We're putting blinkers on him for the first time for his first start on the dirt, but I couldn't be happier with the way he's coming up to the race."Century City was third in his U.S. debut at Bay Meadows last Nov. 3, beaten only a neck after missing the break.
