GATE WORK SHARP

Counts workouts in the last 30 days where the work description contains a gate indicator (the letter “g”), and fires when that count is exactly one. A gate workout is a deliberate, specific training exercise focused on breaking cleanly and accelerating quickly out of the gate. One gate work in the training cycle suggests the trainer identified a gate issue and addressed it specifically. Horses with gate works before a sprint especially may show improved first-call positioning.
