Rapid fire action in the 8:30-8:45 Derby/Oaks session with the boys almost completely the focus..
Pletcher sends 3 pairs, Verrazano and Authenticity the opening act. Verrazano a lot sharper here than last Sunday v. Padua mare in :59.2..
Revolutionary (:48.1) continues to impress, outperforming Charming Kitten (:48.2). Revolutionary moves really sweetly over this strip..
Third pairing saw Overanalyze & Palace Malice work very evenly (:47/:47+) with O/A making up a length from the break off. Nice gallop outs.
Pletcher workers ranking:
1. Revolutionary: A-.
2. Verrazano: B+.
3. Overanalyze: B.
4. Palace Malice: B-.
5. Charming Kitten: C+.
