Again Sunday, no one went through their ministrations in eye-popping fashion, but the Pletcher runners were the stars of session as Intense Holiday (v. We Miss Artie) and Danza (v. Vinceremos) easily outperform rest of the Derby workers.
Starlight Racing's Intense Holiday had to delight Johnny V with streamlined 13.1, 25, 48.1, 1:01 move that left We Miss Artie panting. (B+)
Danza v. Vinceremos less of mismatch but AR Derby hero clearly best. Continues to move with efficient power over track. 48.4 half and out in 1:02. (B)
Intense Holiday made him look bad, but reality is We Miss Artie should be running in the American on Turf and would be for any other owner than Ramsey. (C-)
Vinceremos an OK animal but just appears a notch below the top end of these horses. To his credit, dug in and stayed with Danza on the gallop out. (C+)
